A secondary analysis was conducted on the National Family Survey data. This survey was a cross-sectional study conducted across Iran in 2018. The association between domestic violence and abortion was analyzed using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) with WarpPLS version 8.0. From among 1,544 married women (mean age 42.8\u2009years) who participated in this survey, 27% (418 women) reported experiencing at-least one-lifetime of abortion. Overall, two in three women (67.3%) experienced at least one form of domestic violence. Almost half of the women with experience of abortion (49.3%) reported at least one unwanted pregnancy in their life course. The bivariate analysis showed a significant positive relationship between domestic violence and abortion, and there was a positive direct effect of domestic violence on unwanted pregnancy. Moreover, age had a negative direct and indirect effect on unwanted pregnancy and abortion. Although, the direct effect of domestic violence on abortion was not significant in the Structure Equation Model, a positive indirect effect of domestic violence on abortion through unwanted pregnancy was confirmed. The effect of unwanted pregnancy on abortion was particularly strong (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009.395, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01). These results have some implications for prevention of abortion through interventions against unwanted and unplanned pregnancy and domestic violence. This study makes a unique theoretical contribution to the literature through assessing the mediating role of unwanted pregnancy between domestic violence and abortion by using the SEM model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605231168824","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]],"date-time":"2023-04-27T08:04:42Z","timestamp":1682582682000},"page":"9492-9513","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Domestic Violence and Its Impact on Abortion in Iran: Evidence From a Nationally Representative Survey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5531-219X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reyhaneh","family":"Bagheri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Malaysia, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Farideh Khalajabadi","family":"Farahani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marzieh","family":"Ebrahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08862605231168824","first-page":"30","volume":"16","author":"Abbasi-Shavazi M.
