Abstract

Objectives. Standardized quantitative methods are needed to study occurence and timing of violence in relation to pregnancy and to to study the context in which pregnancy-related violence occurs. Methods. Data from three published studies of prevalence of violence during pregnancy are used to illustrate ways to measure the association of violence-in relation to pregnancy. Results. Four patterns of violence in relation to pregnancy are identified, and related research issues are discussed. Also, 2 population- base surveys that address the suggestion presented here are discussed. Conclusions. Better measurement of the association between violence and pregnancy will facilitate development of data-base prevention and intervention programs.
