Pregnancy, Birth, and Mental Health Outcomes Associated With Recent Reproductive Coercion and Intimate Partner Violence in a Crowd‐Sourced National Sample
Our findings underscore the importance of studying RC as its own construct due to its clear, independent impact on maternal health outcomes. RC, with and without physical violence, is common and detrimental to the health of pregnant and postpartum people. Greater attention to mechanisms for these associations (and the disproportionate burden on populations experiencing marginalization) is needed to interrupt and prevent harmful downstream effects.
