Researchers from a study in the journal "Child Abuse & Neglect" systematically reviewed evidence on childhood verbal abuse, advocating for its clear definition and recognition as a distinct form of maltreatment.

Past-year physical or sexual IPV was associated with recent HIV acquisition and less
frequent viral load suppression. Preventing IPV is inherently imperative but eliminating
IPV could contribute to ending the HIV epidemic.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is pervasive throughout the world, with profound consequences for women’s health. Research to understand the extent, causes and consequences of IPV relies on self-reported data on violence, and yet there is a paucity of research into the consistency with which women report lifetime IPV over time. We use data from the control group of the cluster randomised trial and a follow-on longitudinal study in Tanzania to examine discrepancies in women’s reported experience of lifetime physical IPV and sexual IPV over three time-points (T0, T29, T53 months). Among those reporting lifetime history of IPV at T0, we calculate the proportion who subsequently report no lifetime history at T29 and/or T53 (‘discrepant’ reporting). We use logistic regression to explore associations between discrepant reporting and respondent baseline characteristics, the nature of their IPV experiences at baseline, and situational factors at T53.
