DESCRIPTION:Session: Current Topics in MCH Poster Session Program: Materna
 l and Child Health Authors: Jessica Lewis\, PhD Claire Masters\, MHP Jean
 nette Ickovics\, PhD Abstract Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) 
 during pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and child health out
 comes\, including poor mental health\, but the pathways connecting IPV to
  substance use during pregnancy remain unclear. This study examined the m
 ediation effect of mental health on the associations between IPV and subs
 tance use during pregnancy. Methods Pregnant individuals (N=695) receivin
 g Expect With Me group prenatal care in Nashville\, TN and Detroit\, MI c
 ompleted surveys during second and third trimester of pregnancy. They rep
 orted experiences of verbal\, physical\, and sexual abuse by their partne
 rs\, along with depressive symptoms\, perceived stress\, cigarette smokin
 g\, and alcohol use\, during pregnancy. Mediation models examined the dir
 ect link between IPV and substance use (smoking\, alcohol use)\, and its 
 indirect pathway through perceived stress and depressive symptoms. Result
 s Fifteen percent reported experiencing any form of IPV victimization dur
 ing pregnancy. IPV victims showed elevated levels of perceived stress and
  depressive symptoms (p< 0.001) compared to non-victims. Smoking (25.3% v
 ersus 13.9%) and alcohol use (32.3% versus 14.6%) were also higher among 
 IPV victims. Depressive symptoms fully mediated the relationship between 
 IPV and smoking (34.0%) and alcohol use (52.1%). Path analysis showed IPV
  indirectly influenced smoking (coefficient= 0.22\, 95% CI 0.04\, 0.41) a
 nd alcohol use (coefficient= 0.39\, 95% CI 0.13\, 0.66) through depressiv
 e symptoms. Perceived stress did not mediate the association between IPV 
 and substance use. Conclusions Interventions aimed at reducing IPV are im
 portant for decreasing depressive symptoms during pregnancy and\, in turn
 \, potentially lowering substance use and improving maternal and child he
 alth outcomes.\n\nAdmission:\nRegistrationFees: APHA Event Registration i
