While the impact of biomedical risk factors is well established, the role of psychosocial stressors, including intimate partner violence, remains less understood.

Data on IPV exposure were collected through the Abuse Assessment Screen, detecting physical, psychological, and sexual violence and fear of partner. Birth outcomes were obtained from the Danish registries, including the Danish medical birth registry.
