N2  - This report summarizes the results of the survey conducted by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and the University of South Carolina. The purpose of the survey was to estimate the lifetime incidence of intimate partner violence (IPV) by type of violence (e.g., physical, sexual, and perceived emotional abuse) and to explore demographic correlates of reporting IPV among men and women. Data were collected using a population-based random-digit-dialed telephone survey of adults in the state. Overall, findings revealed that approximately 25% of women and 13% of men surveyed have experienced some type of IPV during their lifetime. Although women were significantly more likely to report physical and sexual IPV, men were as likely as women to report emotional abuse without concurrent physical or sexual IPV.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
