  • Significant χ2 tests for exposure to IPV and belonging to MF programmes are reported by their effect sizes Cramer's V. ORs indicate an increased risk of IPV for women belonging to MF programmes compared with women who did not belong to such programmes. Only significant tests (p<0.05, Bonferroni corrected for 80 tests yielding p<0.000625) including at least one standardised residual >2 (indicated by +) or <−2 (indicated by −) are reported.

  • IPV, intimate partner violence; MF, microfinance.
