Description of the outcomes.
Alternative constructions of the IPV severity indices that handle item missingness differently are considered as robustness checks. Missing responses to questions about IPV experience might not be random. In response, we considered three versions for each IPV severity variable: (a) index is coded to missing if any item was missing, (b) missing items are replaced with “0 = Never” if there is at least one non-missing item, (c) missing items are replaced with the mean of the item in the control group if there is at least one non-missing item in her responses.
