Variable Violence Frequency AORa (95% CI) Injury Occurrence AOR (95% CI)

    Women against men NAb 1.0
Perpetrator gender × reciprocity interaction P < .001 P = .13c
Men against women perpetration
    Reciprocal violence 1.26 (0.92, 1.72)
    Nonreciprocal violence 1.0
Women against men perpetration
    Reciprocal violence 2.30 (1.88, 2.82)*
    Nonreciprocal violence 1.0

Notes. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; NA = not applicable. Percentages reflect weighted estimates of the distribution of the variables for the US young adult population.

a All odds ratios are adjusted for respondent gender, respondent race, respondent education, relationship length, and relationship type.

b Because of a significant reciprocity × perpetrator gender interaction, results are presented separately for perpetrators who were men and those who were women.

c The reciprocity × gender interaction was dropped from the model because it was not significant.

* P < .001.
