Exploring the causal role of intimate partner violence and abuse on depressive symptoms in young adults: a population-based cohort study

Table 2 Association between IPVA victimisation at ages 18–21 and logged depressive symptom score at age 23 using linear regression and IPTW. Analysis on multiply imputed data, N = 1764 women and 1028 men

Depressive symptom score was logged, and the coefficients from linear regression models were exponentiated to ratios of geometric means and subsequently converted to percent changes in the geometric mean of depressive symptom score; % change = [exp(coefficient)−1] × 100. Statistics are pooled from 50 multiply imputed datasets using Rubin’s rules, as described in the ‘Methods’ section
IPTW inverse probability of treatment weighting
^aAdjusted for logged depressive symptom score at age 16, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and dummy variables for childhood emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional neglect
^bAs in adjusted A* and additionally adjusted for sexual minority status, anxiety, extreme parental monitoring, anti-social behaviour, smoking, cannabis use, illicit (non-cannabis) drug use, hazardous alcohol use, bullying, witnessing domestic violence, parental mental health problem, parental substance abuse, parental criminal conviction, and parental separation
