Although food insecurity in its various forms is consistently associated with the presence of intimate partner violence (IPV), it is still unknown if various levels of severity of hunger predict IPV when important extraneous mental health, interpersonal, and social support indicators are considered. The study applied a posttest-only comparison group quasi-experimental design. The samples were randomly drawn from married women ( = 202) in Mozambique. The logistic regression model showed a significant association between multiple forms of IPV and multiple forms of food scarcity; women experiencing severe hunger were consistently between 3.5- and 5-times greater odds of reporting IPV compared to those without hunger, even when controlling for important covariates.
