Estimates with RSE > 30% are considered unstable, and should be used with caution.
†
Categories of abuse are not mutually exclusive; for example, women who are positive for BRFSS psychological abuse, may also have BRFSS physical abuse. Additionally, we could not measure lifetime exposure to abuse with the WEB. Thus, the Any IPV (BRFSS and/or WEB) and the WEB rows of the table are not included for lifetime exposure.
