A Latent Class Analysis of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Experiences in Kosovo

ConclusionEvidence from the present study suggests that IPV tends to co-occur and accumulate in this context of low and middle-income countries [LMIC] similar to another context, showing some universality. However, identifying the coercive profile as the largest category through LCA represents a novelty in understanding IPV experiences. Overall, this study shows that a latent subgroup examination promises an effort to better inform prevention and intervention. Recommendations for policymakers to develop screening instruments, early intervention strategies, and programs based on these typologies were discussed.
