The questionnaire was created based on questions from three questionnaires: the NorVold Domestic Abuse Questionnaire, the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System and the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale. The questionnaire was used to assess the association between DV and family status, male partner attitudes, age, educational attainment, employment, financial and socioeconomic status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 2301 women participated in the survey (81% response rate). The mean\u00b1SD age of the participants was 34.4\u00b110.9\u2005years. The lifetime prevalence of DV was 34%. Abused women had more children than non-abused women (p=0.001), and their spouses were significantly older than those of non-abused women (p&lt;0.0001). Financially dependent women and those with a high educational status were significantly more likely to report abuse (p=0.003 and p&lt;0.001, respectively). Abused women were also likely to report that their spouse was a smoker (p&lt;0.0001) and had completed at least primary or secondary education (p&lt;0.0001). A significantly lower proportion of abused women reported that their male partners were alcohol users (p=0.001). The results of logistic regression showed that women who were financially dependent had about 1.5-fold odds of being physically abused by a spouse.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Many factors are associated with DV against women, thereby highlighting the need to design effective DV prevention programmes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2013-004242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,15]],"date-time":"2014-02-15T00:20:11Z","timestamp":1392423611000},"page":"e004242","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Factors associated with domestic violence: a cross-sectional survey among women in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Wafa M K","family":"Fageeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121407383961000_4.2.e004242.1","unstructured":"Report of the Fourth World Conference on Women, Beijing, China, 4\u201315 September.
