Presentation Abstract
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is defined as physical and sexual violence, stalking, or psychological harm by a current or former partner. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ([CDC], 2020), 25% of women and roughly 10% of men in our country have reported IPV, and of those individuals, 35% of women and 11% of men reported physical injury. Due to quarantine guidelines brought about by COVID-19, many people have felt increased stress and uncertainty, which has escalated mental health problems. For example, during the pandemic, 40.9% of people in the U.S. reported at least one mental health condition with 30.9% of those reporting anxiety or depression (CDC, 2020). These isolation mandates and mental health struggles may have also increased rates of IPV; therefore, this research was conducted to examine how those experiencing risk factors for IPV may be affected by worries about COVID-19, anxiety, and social support. In 2021, an online and paper-pencil survey was developed that was distributed to a southeastern coastal community. Participants (N=660) were mostly female (68%), <30 years (84%), and for those currently in a relationship (47%), 34.5% reported at least one positive response for an IPV risk factor. The findings were analyzed with JMP software using frequencies, means, odds ratios, and the General Linear Model (GLM) Analysis of Variance. Results will be discussed.

In 2021, an online and paper-pencil survey was developed that was distributed to a southeastern coastal community. Participants (N=660) were mostly female (68%), <30 years>(84%), and for those currently in a relationship (47%), 34.5% reported at least one positive response for an IPV risk factor.
