However, there is little research on the topic in lower- and middle-income countries. The population-based Asenze Study gathered data on children and their caregivers in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This data analysis explores the association of caregiver IPV on child behavior outcomes in children &amp;lt;12 years old and is the first such study in Africa.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This population-based study was set in 5 Zulu tribal areas characterized by poverty, food insecurity, unemployment, and a high HIV prevalence. The Asenze Study interviewed caregivers via validated measures of IPV, alcohol use, caregiver mental health difficulties, and child behavior disorders in their preschool children.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Among the 980 caregivers assessed, 37% had experienced IPV from their current partner. Experience of partner violence (any, physical, or sexual) remained strongly associated with overall child behavior problems (odds ratio range: 2.46\u20133.10) even after age, HIV status, cohabitation with the partner, alcohol use, and posttraumatic stress disorder were accounted for.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Childhood behavioral difficulties are associated with their caregiver\u2019s experience of IPV in this population, even after other expected causes of child behavior difficulties are adjusted for. There is a need to investigate the longer-term impact of caregiver partner violence, particularly sexual IPV, on the health and well-being of vulnerable children in lower- and middle-income countries. Studies should also investigate whether preventing IPV reduces the occurrence of childhood behavior difficulties.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2016-1059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,27]],"date-time":"2017-02-27T10:10:13Z","timestamp":1488190213000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Intimate Partner Violence and Child Behavioral Problems in South Africa"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"139","author":[{"given":"Pratibha","family":"Chander","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Mailman School of Public Health, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Kvalsvig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Public Health and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claude A.","family":"Mellins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University and New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuaib","family":"Kauchali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paediatrics, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa;
