Intimate partner violence and posttraumatic stress disorder among adolescents and young adults in Haiti.

Although the high prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Haiti is well-documented, its association with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among adolescents and young adults remains unexplored.
