---indicates suppressed result due to cells with fewer than 20 unweighted observations. Physical and sexual IPV response categories not included in the table because there were fewer than 20 unweighted observations for both males and females, for both perpetration and victimization, include being: hit with something, beaten, choked, threatened with/to use a gun/knife, and forced into unwanted sexual activity; emotional and financial IPV response categories not included in the table include being: harmed, or threatened to harm someone close, prevented knowledge or access to family income. However, positive responses to these low-prevalence items were included in the relevant aggregate outcomes (e.g., “any physical and/or sexual IPV perpetration” included those who had perpetrated unwanted sexual activity).
