The spatial distribution of intimate partner violence prevalence and its associated factors among women aged 15–49 years in Zambia: evidence from the 2018 Demographic and Health Survey

This study has shown that women who witnessed parental violence from father to mother, justified wife beating, or had partners who consumed alcohol, had increased odds of experiencing IPV in Zambia. There is need to tailor interventions that address the cessation of alcohol consumption, and the promotion of awareness and education on IPV and its associated harms, especially in hot spot provinces.
