Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence of violence in pregnant and postpartum military populations and to study the relationships between battering during pregnancy and the early postpartum period and different approaches to documenting the prevalence of battering during pregnancy among military spouses, active duty military women, and dependents of military sponsors. In phase I of the study, women volunteered anonymously to complete the Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE). In phase II, a routine interview procedure was implemented using the AAS to screen military women who used postpartum military clinics. As a part of this interview procedure, women who reported abuse were further assessed for its severity and danger. Finally, during phase II, pregnancy, fetal and maternal health outcomes were documented. |
