- Abstract
Intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) is a concerning, yet understudied form of intimate partner violence. Using data from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), the current study builds on prior research to explore variation in tactics used to facilitate IPSV and their relationship with physical and mental health outcomes. Further, this study examines sex differences in both tactics and their associated health outcomes. Results show that all forms of IPSV are related to adverse health outcomes, with physical force being associated with the greatest number physical and mental health consequences. Women are more likely to report a greater number of negative physical health outcomes and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, while male IPSV victims are more likely to report overall worse mental health.
