The magnitude and risk factors of intimate partner violence during pregnancy in rural Tanzanian communities: an analytical cross-sectional study
A high proportion of women experienced intimate partner violence during pregnancy. Residing in rural areas, autonomy in partner selection, bride price payment, male partner alcohol use, prior experience of abortion exacerbated the prevalence. The study advocates for widespread educational campaigns to raise awareness about the detrimental impact of intimate partner violence, especially during the vulnerable period of pregnancy.
