This report of the Kiribati Family Health and Support Study analyses data from the first ever nationally representative research on violence against women and related child abuse in this country. This study replicates the WHO multi-country study on Women{\textquoteright}s Health and Domestic Violence against Women. The study was designed to


estimate the prevalence of physical, sexual and emotional violence against women, with particular emphasis on violence by intimate partners


assess the association of partner violence with a range of health outcomes


identify factors that may either protect or put women at risk of partner violence


document the strategies and services that women use to cope with violence by an intimate partner; 


assess the association of partner violence with abuse against children


\&nbsp;Methodology of the study
\&nbsp;The study consisted of a qualitative component and a quantitative component. The quantitative component consisted of population-based household survey that was conducted around the country. The sample for the household survey was designed to be nationally representative and aimed to include 1500 women aged 15{\textendash}49 years. A stratified multi-stage sample design was used, with 20\% oversampling to account for non-response. There were five strata: three for the Gilbert Islands, one for the Line and Phoenix Islands, and one for South Tarawa. Within the first four strata islands were randomly selected, and in South Tarawa enumeration areas were systematically selected. Within the islands or enumeration areas, households were systematically selected using probability proportional to size (based on census information). The total sample size was 2000 households to be visited. In each selected household only one woman was randomly selected to be interviewed for the survey among all eligible women 15{\textendash}49 years of age.
