OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; MD, missing data.
When not specified, “no” is used as the reference.
OR computed with multinomial logistic regression models.
Current partners of victims of each type of IPV (e.g., overall IPV, sexual IPV) are compared to current partners of non-victims considered the same type of IPV for each variable (e.g., age), and results are given by OR.
For each variable, the reference category is indicated as “Ref” (e.g., for age, the 18–29 age class is the category of reference for OR).
MD were considered as a category.
