*In Haiti, some child discipline data were reported by another member of the woman’s household.
†Bolivia, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico and Peru measured IPV by the current/most recent partner; Guatemala, Jamaica, Nicaragua and Paraguay measured IPV by any partner in life.
‡Risk of bias items: (1) Measured IPV with a module, not a dedicated violence survey. (2) Collected data >10 years ago. (3a) Limited IPV questions to women with a partner in the past year. (3b.) Did not gather enough data to exclude all women without children age 1-14 in the household. (4) Did not use MICS questions to measure child discipline. (5) Gathered child discipline data from household questionnaire respondents. (6). Measured IPV during the past year but not ever. (7). Measured IPV by any partner in life not the current/most recent partner specifically. (8) Deviated from WHO ethical and safety guidelines.
IPV, Intimate partner violence; MICS, Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey; NA, not available, because not measured.
