Intimate Partner Stalking: Contributions to PTSD Symptomatology Among a National Sample of Women Veterans

Type
Summary

Female Veterans may be more vulnerable to intimate partner violence (IPV; e.g., stalking) than civilians. Female Veterans' answers to questionnaires were used to examine the prevalence of intimate partner stalking and the association between stalking and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Results revealed that intimate partner stalking was a common form of IPV among female Veterans and it was related to PTSD symptoms.
