Abstract

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a significant public health concern in Timor-Leste, with sociocultural norms, economic disparities, and partner behaviors contributing to its prevalence. Understanding the associated risk factors is crucial for informing prevention strategies. Purpose: This study aimed to examine sociodemographic and behavioral factors associated with severe IPV among women in Timor-Leste Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from 3,694 women aged 15–49 years who participated in the 2016 Timor-Leste Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). The outcome variable was self-reported severe IPV. Independent variables included age, marital status, education, household wealth index, place of residence, geographic region, and husband/partner’s alcohol consumption. Weighted logistic regression models were used to calculate crude and adjusted odds ratios (COR, AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Severe IPV was significantly associated with being aged 25–34 (AOR = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.19–2.52), being unmarried/widowed/divorced (AOR = 2.56; 95% CI: 1.33–4.92), and having a partner who consumed alcohol (AOR = 2.41; 95% CI: 1.85–3.11). Higher education and better economic status were protective against IPV. Conclusions: Alcohol consumption by partners, lower education levels, and economic disadvantage are key risk factors for severe IPV in Timor-Leste. Policies targeting alcohol reduction, women’s empowerment, and tailored regional interventions are essential to mitigate IPV and its health impacts

Abstract

Reproductive health knowledge is essential for enabling women to make informed family planning decisions and prevent unintended pregnancies. In Indonesia, awareness of the possibility of pregnancy after childbirth before menstruation resumes remains insufficiently explored. This study examined sociodemographic, economic, and behavioral factors associated with women’s knowledge of postpartum pregnancy risk using data from 40,978 women aged 15–49 years in the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using multivariate logistic regression with sampling weights to ensure national representativeness. The results showed that higher education (AOR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.13–1.75) and higher wealth status (AOR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.21–1.50) were positively associated with knowledge. In contrast, rural residence (AOR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.83–0.98) and lack of formal education were linked to lower awareness. Older age and being currently married were also associated with higher knowledge levels. Women using contraceptive methods, particularly calendar-based methods (AOR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.15–1.40), were more likely to have adequate knowledge. These findings highlight urban–rural disparities in reproductive health knowledge and emphasize the need to strengthen education, expand healthcare access, and improve family planning counseling, particularly in underserved communities.
