| Method of elicitation and type of violence |
n = 3818 |

|---|---|---|
| No. women | Estimated prevalence (95% CI)a | |
| Direct elicitation | ||
| Verbal conflict | 967 | 25.33 (23.95 to 26.71) |
| Physical conflict | 118 | 3.09 (2.54 to 3.64) |
| Emotional abuse (any) | 293 | 7.67 (6.83 to 8.52) |

| Controlled | 175 | 4.58 (3.92 to 5.25) |
| Corporal punishment of childrenb | 97 | 6.58 (5.31 to 7.85) |
| Indirect elicitationc | ||
| Physical violence | NA | 1.53 (−2.05 to 5.11) |
| Sexual violence | NA | 3.57 (−0.33 to 7.46) |
| Physical violence against childrenb | NA | 1.97 (−4.23 to 8.18) |
CI: confidence interval; NA: not applicable.
a For direct elicitation, the prevalence estimates indicate the calculated percentage. For indirect elicitation, the prevalence estimates are an average of the differences in the number of applicable statements between reference and experimental groups.
b The sample size (n) for physical violence against children was 1474.
c For indirect elicitation, we did not observe any individual-level experience of violence and therefore cannot observe the number of cases.
