The adjusted odds ratio (OR) shown for each variable has been adjusted for all other variables (i.e. demographics, IPV indicators and attitudes towards wife beating). Age was used as a continuous variable in the regression. All other variables were used as categorical variables and the contrast category denoted with OR =1. 0. # p<0.001, **p<0.01, *p<0.05. € Either strike or slap or both.
