abstract: 'Advocates, clinicians, policy makers, and survivors frequently cite

  intimate partner violence (IPV) as an immediate cause of or precursor to

  housing problems. Research has indicated an association between

  homelessness and IPV, yet few studies examine IPV and housing

  instability. Housing instability differs from homelessness, in that

  someone experiencing housing instability may currently have a place to

  live but faces difficulties with maintaining the residence. We present

  baseline findings from a longitudinal cohort study of 278 female IPV

  survivors with housing as a primary concern. Our analysis indicates the

  greater the number of housing instability risk factors (e.g., eviction

  notice, problems with landlord, moving multiple times), the more likely

  the abused woman reported symptoms consistent with PTSD (p < .001),

  depression (p < .001), reduced quality of life (p < .001), increased

  work/school absence (OR = 1.28, p < .004), and increased

  hospital/emergency department use (OR = 1.22, p < .001). These outcomes

  persist even when controlling for the level of danger in the abusive

  relationship and for survivors'' drug and alcohol use. Importantly, both

  housing instability and danger level had stronger associations with

  negative health outcomes than other factors such as age, alcohol, and

  drug use; both make unique contributions to negative health outcomes and

  could contribute in different ways. Housing instability is an important

  and understudied social determinant of health for IPV survivors. These

  findings begin to address the literature gap on the relationship between

  housing instability, IPV, and survivors'' health, employment, and

  utilization of medical care services.'
