Note 1

Respondents were able to indicate if they experienced each behaviour once, a few times, monthly, weekly, or daily or almost daily. For the purposes of analysis, monthly, weekly, and daily or almost daily have been combined.

Note 2

Percent calculation is based on the number of respondents who experienced the behaviour in the past 12 months. See Table 1A for the overall prevalence of each behaviour.

Note 3

This is an item taken from the Composite Abuse Scale - revised short form (CASr-SF).

Note 4

This item was only asked of respondents who did not identify as heterosexual.

Note 5

This item was only asked of respondents who indicated yes to at least one item from the CASr-SF. The percent calculation therefore does not include all respondents.

Return to note 5 referrer

Note 6

For totals, monthly or more includes respondents who reported one or more types of intimate partner violence in the past 12 months and at least one occurred monthly or more frequently. A few times includes respondents who reported one or more types of intimate partner violence in the past 12 months where at least one occurred a few times but none occurred more frequently. Once includes respondents who reported one or more types of intimate partner violence in the past 12 months but no specific type occurred more than once. If multiple behaviours were each reported as happening once, this is considered once for the purposes of the frequency measure in this table, though in some instances these may have been separate occurrences.
