FF Families First screening form, IPV intimate partner violence, NA variable was not available in data due to missing FF screen form, AOR adjusted odds ratio (i.e., all models in this table are adjusted for maternal age, marital status, total number of children in home, area-level income, and provincial region of residence)

1Screened for IPV is the reference group for the dependent variable in logistic regression models

2Missing a response to the IPV screen question on the FF form is the reference group for the dependent variable in logistic regression models
