Recent Intimate Partner Violence and Oral Contraceptive Pill Adherence in a Cohort of Reproductive-Aged Women.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important public health problem that impacts reproductive decision-making. Although previous literature has reported a negative impact on contraceptive adherence overall, this study specifically aims to investigate the association between IPV and oral contraceptive pill (OCP) adherence. Methods: We analyzed baseline survey data from 373 OCP users participating in the MyNewOptions study. Recent IPV was defined as any positive response to HARK, a 4-question tool assessing emotional, sexual, and physical abuse in the past year, or self-report of sexual coercion in the past 6 months. High OCP adherence was defined by self-report of missing ≤1 pill per month, which was then corroborated by pharmacy claims data. Multiva
