aAge ranged from 18 to 54 in this sample and was also analyzed as a categorical variable. Categorical age was not significant in predicting either lifetime or past year IPV.
bIn this sample, 11.1% of the respondents were single, and 0.5% were widowed. Neither group reached statistical significance for both lifetime and past year IPV when analyzed separately.
*Statistically significant (P < .05) ORs.
