This study explores the association between poverty and experiences of partner abuse among 204 women recruited from methadone maintenance treatment programs. Logistic regressions were used to examine the associations between extreme poverty and indicators of partner abuse. The findings show that extreme poverty was prevalent and associated with partner abuse. The study findings suggest that providers of methadone maintenance programs need to incorporate poverty indicators in their assessment because extreme poverty seems to correlate with all forms of partner abuse. The impact of welfare reform on partner violence should be on the agendas of policy makers and researchers.
