Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of domestic and sexual violence and to characterize the association between exposure to domestic and sexual violence and low uptake of gynecological care, in the context of induced abortion.
Study Design: We conducted a case-control study among women seeking abortion care, in mother and child centers and sexual health centers in the Paris, France area (April 2022-March 2023).
Results: A total of 103 women were included in the study during induced abortion care.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the link between domestic and sexual violence and the low rate of gynecological consultations among pregnant women in Paris between October 2021 and October 2022.
- - A total of 405 pregnant women participated, with the case group being women who hadn’t had a gynecological consultation in the past two years, and the control group made up of those who had.
- - Results indicated that a history of intimate partner violence (OR 2.13) and sexual violence (OR 1.92) significantly increased the likelihood of not having a consultation, emphasizing the need for violence screening during gynecological visits.
