... Globally, domestic violence is a pervasive social ill and public health issue (Adams et al, 2019;Postmus et al., 2020). Often, women are affected by domestic violence more than men. ...

... Economic abuse is often not recognized by those who experience it, until they experience extreme financial stress or the relationship ends (Adams et al., 2019). Our attention was drawn to the cohort for whom prevention could be most effective: young adults in their relationship formation phase (Arnett, 2001(Arnett, , 2015. ...

... Research related to domestic violence against women is increasingly concerned with assessing their quality of life, rather than life satisfaction (46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51). Therefore, the subject of our study encourages further inquiry. ...

... Studies in different socio-cultural contexts have documented the negative consequences of IPVon women, such as increased risks for mental health symptoms (e.g., PTSD and depression; Gibbs et al. 2018;Liu et al. 2018), substantial health problems (Eaton et al. 2016), employment instability, and other life challenges (e.g., housing instability; Adams et al. 2013). Seeking and receiving timely and proper professional help and social support can greatly mitigate the negative consequences of IPV on survivors (Rizo et al. 2017;Wong et al. 2016). ...

... When women experience economic abuse by their intimate partners, they are economically dependent on their abuser (Adams et al., 2008). These victims have insufficient income and employment history, and this makes it difficult to leave their abuser because they have few alternatives (Adams et al., 2015). Due to the difficulty of leaving an abuser, many victims stay in economically abusive relationships, and this is commonly due to a lack of financial independence (Estrellado & Loh, 2014;Kim & Gray, 2008;Meyer, 2012;Rhodes & McKenzie, 1998). ...

... Academic partners invited the women who participated in the member check sessions to participate in an advisory group to develop recommendations based on study 9ndings and contribute to community change. Over the course of approximately four meetings facilitated by academic partners, the academic partners and the women who experienced harm went through the Expectations to Change process, an interactive workshop-based method to engage participants with study 9ndings by setting expectations for the process, reviewing 9ndings, identifying and interpreting key 9ndings, making recommendations, and planning for change (Adams et al., 2015). The group collectively identi9ed key 9ndings, established recommendations to respond to these 9ndings, and brainstormed how these recommendations could be implemented (Adams et al., 2015). ...

... Fox and Chancey (1998) identified financial strain as the strongest predictor of individual and family well-being compared to other measures of economic distress, such as job instability and job insecurity. Adams (2011) suggested that financial stability and subjective financial well-being can be other dimensions to measure the impact of IPV on financial well-being. ...

... For example, Tajima et al. (2010) found that responsive and accepting parenting significantly reduced the risks of runaway and pregnancy among IPVexposed adolescents. Greeson et al. (2014) also found that authoritative parenting (e.g., 'being aware of the child's concerns in school' and 'giving comfort and understanding when the child is upset') significantly predicted fewer externalizing behaviors among IPV-exposed youth. The study by Knous-Westfall et al. (2012) provides a more nuanced understanding of the circumstances under which the effects of IPV could be exacerbated, finding that the protective effects of positive parenting diminished when the severity of the IPV was strong enough to leave injuries on the victim. ...

... Victims experience increased negative emotions (e.g., fear, Logan et al., 2007;MacGregor et al., 2016;shame, Hadeed & Lee, 2010;anger, Lloyd, 1997), anxiety (Adams et al., 2013), depression and psychological distress (Banyard et al., 2011;Dougé et al., 2014;Lindhorst et al., 2007;Tolman & Rosen, 2001), poor selfesteem (Moe & Bell, 2004), sleep disruption (Kulkarni et al., 2018), and posttraumatic stress (Cavanaugh et al., 2012;Tolman & Rosen, 2001). WIPA victims can also suffer from physical injuries that result in lost work time due to the need to seek medical assistance (Leone et al., 2004;Rayner-Thomas et al., 2016). ...

... Globally, one in three women experience intimate partner violence, and the economic costs of this violence range from 1% to 4% of global gross domestic product (GDP) [1][2][3] . Studies have shown that violence against women (VAW) has negative impacts on female labour market participation, earnings, mental health, child health and household consumption [4][5][6][7][8][9] . UN Women has referred to the rise in VAW during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) pandemic and accompanying lockdowns as the 'Shadow Pandemic' 10 . ...
