<strong>does</strong> not seem to predict prevalence. Within the<br />
clinical population studies, the prevalence seems<br />
to be highest in <strong>women</strong> attending accident and<br />
emergency departments. The lowest prevalence<br />
appears to be in antenatal populations; however,<br />
this may be due to <strong>women</strong> in these samples being<br />
younger than in other clinical populations.<br />
<strong>Health</strong> impact<br />
Results<br />
We found 13 reviews reporting the health<br />
consequences of <strong>partner</strong> violence. Publication dates<br />
ranged from 1995 to 2006. Three reported mental<br />
health outcomes, 57–59 five reported reproductive<br />
health effects 60–64 and five reported effects on<br />
children. 65–69 For details of review study design and<br />
quality appraisal see Appendix 4.3.<br />
Mental health<br />
A meta-analysis by Stith and colleagues 70<br />
synthesised results from primary studies published<br />
between 1980 and 2000 that measured the<br />
association of <strong>partner</strong> violence with depression<br />
and with alcohol abuse. Six studies, with a total<br />
of 899 participants, reported the association with<br />
depression. The pooled effect size was moderately<br />
