As awful as it may be, that doesn't sound so far-fetched to me.
1/4 woman and 1/7 men have been "victims of severe physical violence [...] by an intimate partner in their lifetime." That's 25% for women! Very different statistic, but it does provide perspective. Is GP's 0.6% so implausible?

Yeah 1 in 200 is well within the realm of abuse stats though it's still really speculative to try to assign a cause for a blip in the data. No idea what controls they used, but I can't imagine there is much for statistical significance there.
That number ("1/4 woman and 1/7 men") seemed unlikely high to me.
I looked at the source that was cited on the ncadv.org page. Maybe I'm misreading it, but it doesn't seem to support that. According to table 11 it's 2.8 in 1000 men and 8.4 in 1000 women.
