The second digit indicates degree of violence during previous years (0 = none/low; 1 = medium/severe). The third digit indicates whether the woman witnessed interparental violence in childhood (0 = no; 1 = yes). The fourth digit indicates whether the male partner was abused during childhood (0 = no; 1 = yes). The first point represents no violence and medium socioeconomic status (0:0:0:0).
