Study participants included 466 caregivers residing in sampled households.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"595\" data-end=\"770\">Trained enumerators used the standard ST-5 questionnaire to measure stress level and asked the participants to self-report the study outcomes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"916\">We analyzed data using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Approximately 19.1% of caregivers reported moderate, high, or severe level of stress.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"1224\">Caregivers with moderate and higher levels of stress were more likely than caregivers with low level of stress to report child verbal abuse (48% vs. 23%, respectively; Adj. OR = 3.11, 95% CI = 1.90, 5.11) and corporal punishment (28% vs. 8%, respectively; Adj. OR = 2.62, 95% CI = 1.36, 5.04).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1533\">We found associations between caregiver\u2019s stress level and self-reported verbal abuse and corporal punishment of children in the household. However, social desirability, lack of details in the answers, and potential confounding by mental illness co-morbidities were notable limitations of the study.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1535\"
