Our faculty member Mr. Helal Uddin, Lecturer, Department of Sociology, East West University, co-authored a research paper on intimate partner violence (IPV) and low birth weight (LBW) in low-income and economically developed countries. They showed how different forms of IPV affect LBW in low-income countries. Hence they examined the associations of various forms of IPV with two measures of birth outcomes - LBW and birth weight in India.

They suggested that for ensuring better maternal health and birth outcomes, public health policies and interventions should ensure the protection of women from exposure to intimate partner violence.
