Abstract: Abstract Researchers have suggested that intimate partner violence experience (IPV) is associated with both early and unintended childbearing. However, since IPV and early and unintended parenthood are concentrated among young women and men, this association may not be causal. Using the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS), we examined whether IPV experience was related to early and unintended parenthood by age 25 for women and men (n = 811). Women and men who previously experienced intimate partner violence were no more likely to enter parenthood by age 25 than those individuals who had not previously experienced intimate partner violence. Further, prior IPV experience was not associated with an increased probability of unintended parenthood. Results suggested that rather than a causal relationship, prior IPV experience and unintended parenthood both occur in young adulthood. This work has implications for policy and programmatic foci of both unintended parenthood and intimate partner violence prevention initiatives.
