METHOD: Interviews with 102 urban African American and Hispanic adolescent females examined physical abuse, emotional/verbal abuse, and threats, and their unique and combined associations with depression. RESULTS: One-quarter of the sample experienced all three types of abuse. Non-physical forms of IPV were significantly associated with depression. CONCLUSIONS: Some urban adolescent females from lower income households experience high rates of IPV. Physical and non-physical forms of IPV are important in understanding and responding to depression in this population.}, issn = {1475-3588}, doi = {10.1007/s10995-010-0650-3}, author = {Teitelman, Anne and Ratcliffe, Sarah J and McDonald, Catherine C and Brawner, Bridgette M and Sullivan, Cris M} }
