First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at how coercive control—a pattern of domination and manipulation in intimate relationships—affects victims' physical and mental health. Researchers will survey 250 women who have experienced intimate partner violence, asking about their exposure to coercive control and symptoms like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The goal is to better understand these links so that healthcare providers can identify at-risk victims and offer appropriate care.
