Determinants of Family Stress and Domestic Violence: Lessons from the COVID-19 Outbreak
Open accessAbstract
In this article, we examine Canadians’ concerns regarding the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on domestic violence and family stress. Our empirical analysis relies on a unique survey conducted online, the Canadian Perspective Survey Series, which allows us to investigate the determinants of concerns regarding family stress and domestic violence during the first COVID-19 lockdown. We find no evidence that changes in work arrangements are related to concerns regarding family stress and violence in the home. In contrast, we find that the inability to meet financial obligations and concerns about maintaining social ties are significantly related to concerns about family stress and domestic violence.

Actions such as social distancing, sheltering in place, restricted travel, and closures of key community resources are likely to dramatically increase the risk of family violence.

From Depression, anxiety, and stress in Korean general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. (2022) · cites this paper as [32]
The Introduction (page not provided) links lockdowns and social isolation to possible increases in domestic violence, and reports an association between concerns about maintaining social ties and concerns about domestic violence. The paper does not establish that restricted travel or closures of community resources dramatically increase the risk of actual family violence; its own analysis measures concerns rather than violence incidence.

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.
