Abstract
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies published before
February 1, 2013. More than 22,000 records from 20 databases were searched for studies examining physical and/or sexual
intimate partner or dating violence and symptoms of depression, diagnosed major depressive disorder, dysthymia, mild
depression, or suicide attempts. Random effects meta-analyses were used to generate pooled odds ratios (ORs). Sixteen
studies with 36,163 participants met our inclusion criteria. All studies included female participants; four studies also included
male participants. Few controlled for key potential confounders other than demographics. All but one depression study measured only depressive symptoms.
