Examining the bi-directional relationship between intimate partner violence and depression: Findings from a longitudinal study among women and men in rural Rwanda

Several studies confirm that intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization is associated with symptoms of depression among women and men. Less recognized, is the potential role that depression symptoms may play in elevating the risk for IPV victimization and/or perpetration. While both phenomena des...

IPV victimization and perpetration, in turn, was also associated with a risk for future depression. At baseline, women who experienced any type of IPV and men who perpetrated physical or physical and/or sexual IPV were more likely to report depression symptoms at 24 months.
