Violence against women and the risk of under‐five mortality: analysis of community‐based data from rural Bangladesh
Open accessAbstract
Aim: To assess whether violence against women was associated with increased mortality risks for their daughters and sons before the age of 5. Methods: Secondary analysis of longitudinal data from rural Bangladesh of 2691 live‐born children in relation to their mother's experience of physical, sexual and emotional partner violence and level of controlling behaviour in marriage. Analyses were adjusted for potential confounders and stratified by gender. Result: Under five‐mortality was 88 per 1000 in this cohort. Overall, there was no association between different forms of violence against women and under‐five mortality. However, more educated women had an increased risk of under‐five deaths of their female offspring if ever exposed to severe physical violence (adjusted hazard ratio 2.2, 95% CI 1.06–4.50) or to a high level of controlling behaviour in marriage (adjusted hazard ratio 2.5, 95% CI 1.30–4.90). Controlling behaviour in marriage increased the hazard ratios in a dose–response manner. Increased mortality risks were neither shown for offspring of women with low or no education nor for boys in any educational group. Conclusion: Severe physical violence and controlling behaviour in marriage were associated with higher under‐five mortality among daughters of educated mothers in rural Bangladesh, indicating gender‐biased consequences of partner violence for child mortality.

The majority of research in this area indicates an association, rather than a causal relationship, between the incidence of IPV against women and negative outcomes for children and youth.

The Discussion says this study could not establish causality between violence against women and child deaths, and that its findings align with most of the few earlier studies of infant and under-five mortality. It does not assess the majority of research on IPV and negative outcomes for children and youth generally; its comparison is limited to mortality in very young children. Page numbers are not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredNegative health outcomes associated with domestic violence exposure may also be a result of the impact of IPV on women's mental and physical health, which in turn can affect their ability to provide proper care for their children.
“Negative health outcomes associated with domestic violence exposure may also be a result of the impact of IPV on women's mental and physical health, which in turn can affect their ability to provide proper care for their children (Åsling-Monemi, Naved, & Persson, 2008; Hasselmann & Reichenheim, 2006; Olofsson et al., 2011; Silverman et al., 2011).”

Research in rural Bangladesh found no association between IPV against women and mortality for children under age 5, more generally.
“In contrast, research in rural Bangladesh found no association between IPV against women and mortality for children under age 5, more generally (Åsling-Monemi et al., 2008).”
From A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ON THE IMPACT OF EXPOSURE TO INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH (2014) · cites this paper as Åsling-Monemi et al., 2008
Among more educated women in Bangladesh experiencing severe physical violence (RR = 2.2) and controlling behaviours (RR = 2.5), there was an elevated risk of death for female children.
“However, a closer look at the data gathered by Åsling-Monemi and colleagues (2008) revealed an elevated risk of death for female children of more educated women who were experiencing severe physical violence (RR = 2.2) and controlling behaviours (RR = 2.5) in their intimate relationships.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
