  • Title: [Abuse in marriages and living-together relationships].
    Author: Bovim EK, Saltvedt I, Lereim I.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1993 May 30; 113(14):1695-7. PubMed ID: 8322293.
    Abstract:
    The authors have studied the type and frequency of cases of wife-battering attending an emergency outpatient clinic in Trondheim, Norway. Most patients were between 20 and 30 years old. They had multiple traumas, with a predominance of traumas near the head and neck region. Almost half (44%) of the abusers were unemployed, and most of them were 30-40 years old. Alcohol was reported as an important precipitating factor by 75% of the victims. Comparison with a corresponding study carried out ten years ago shows that the frequency of wife-battering seems to be almost unchanged.
