Annotation	The purpose of this study was to explore and understand reasons why middle-aged women report higher percentages of intimate partner violence (IPV) when compared with other age groups. This was a qualitative study in which grounded theory method was adopted through the use of interviews. Findings revealed that the main reason why women aged 45-64 report intimate partner incidents more than other age groups is because they can recognise violence actions and behaviours. The findings suggest that frequent awareness campaigns should be organised in order to keep women informed regarding IPV. The value of the current study is that it offers a greater insight in the findings of the first national study conducted in the Republic of Cyprus by the Advisory Committee for the Prevention and Combating of Violence in the Family.
