In the United States, approximately 25 of women (or one in four) have been the victim of intimate partner violence, including over 324,000 pregnant women.

Many women cope with this violence by turning to substance abuse, both prescription and nonprescription. Shockingly, IPV may occur for the first time during pregnancy.
