Violence against women is now widely recognized as an important public health problem, owing to its health consequences. Domestic violence generally refers to violence against women that generally takes place in the matrimonial home, which includes physical, emotional, sexual as well as economical violence occurring in the adult relationship. Domestic violence has negative impact on the demographic outcome of a country or region, which includes the health and health seeking behavior of women. The present study is an attempt to investigate the socioeconomic factors that would significantly influence domestic violence in the northeastern region of India. The northeastern region of India comprises of eight states, including Manipur and Sikkim, which are reported having the highest and the least prevalence of domestic violence in the whole country according to NFHS-4. Considering these reports and having a different socioeconomic setup as compared to other states in the mainland India, we selected the region for the current study. Data from NFHS-4 conducted during 2015–16 is being employed for the present study. Findings show that education of women, wealth, women’s working status, religion, parity of women, and husband’s alcohol use are some of the significant covariates that might have influenced domestic violence. The overall prevalence of physical, emotional, sexual, and severe physical violence among women of northeastern India are 24.7%, 11.8%, 6.4%, and 5.3%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis computes the relative risks of categorical variables via the odds ratios. Those women who got higher education and are in upper wealth quintiles have less risk of experiencing domestic violence as compared to women in lower education and lower wealth quintile in northeastern India. There is no rural urban difference in experiencing domestic violence in the region.

由于其健康后果，对妇女的暴力行为现在被广泛认为是一个重要的公共卫生问题。家庭暴力一般是指一般发生在婚内家庭中对妇女的暴力行为，包括发生在成人关系中的身体、情感、性以及经济方面的暴力。家庭暴力对一个国家或地区的人口结果产生负面影响，其中包括女性的健康和寻求健康的行为。本研究试图调查将显着影响印度东北部地区家庭暴力的社会经济因素。印度东北部地区由曼尼普尔邦和锡金邦等八个邦组成，据 NFHS-4 报告，这些国家的家庭暴力发生率在全国最高和最低。考虑到这些报告以及与印度大陆其他州相比具有不同的社会经济环境，我们选择了该地区进行当前的研究。本研究正在使用 2015-16 年间进行的 NFHS-4 数据。调查结果表明，女性的教育、财富、女性的工作地位、宗教、女性平等和丈夫的饮酒是可能影响家庭暴力的一些重要协变量。印度东北部女性身体暴力、情感暴力、性暴力和严重身体暴力的总体流行率分别为 24.7%、11.8%、6.4% 和 5.3%。逻辑回归分析通过优势比计算分类变量的相对风险。与印度东北部教育程度较低和财富较低的五分之一女性相比，那些受过高等教育并处于较高财富五分之一的女性遭受家庭暴力的风险较小。该地区在遭受家庭暴力方面没有城乡差异。
