questionnaire: Participants will complete online questionnaires via the Qualtrics platform at baseline and at 6 months post-enrollment
Study summary
Coercive control (CC) is increasingly recognized as a central component of intimate partner violence (IPV) and a major determinant of victims' health outcomes. While widely integrated into policy and legal frameworks in several countries, CC remains insufficiently explored in the French research context, particularly regarding its clinical and psychopathological dimensions. This gap may limit the identification of victims and the provision of appropriate care.
The present study aims to investigate the association between exposure to coercive control and physical and mental health outcomes among victims of intimate partner violence. By improving the understanding of CC-related health impacts, this research seeks to support better identification of high-risk situations and inform clinical and public health interventions.
