dc.description.notesStudies have consistently found positive associations between the density of alcohol outlets and levels of violence in areas. Few studies have examined whether this relationship holds for domestic violence. This study assesses whether alcohol outlet density is related to domestic violence and whether this relationship is due to alcohol availability or to co-occurring economic disadvantage and social disorganisation. Cross-sectional data on family incidents, liquor outlets and socio-demographic characteristics were obtained for 217 postcodes in Melbourne, Australia. These data were used to construct models assessing the association between alcohol outlet density and domestic violence, both with and without controlling for socio-demographic factors. Models were tested for spatial autocorrelation, and spatial-error models were developed to control for its influence. Outlet density was significantly associated with rates of domestic violence, even controlling for socio-demographic factors. The density of hotels (pubs) was positively associated with domestic violence rates and the density of restaurants and bars was negatively associated with domestic violence. Socio-economic disadvantage was also associated with domestic violence rates. The density of packaged liquor outlets was not associated with rates of domestic violence. The results present a mixed picture, and further study is required to develop a clearer understanding of the links between alcohol availability and domestic violence.<br/ >Author's Address:<br/ >Livingston, MAER Ctr Alcohol Policy Res Turning Point Alcohol, Gertrude St 54-62, Fitzroy, Vic 3065, AustraliaAER Ctr Alcohol Policy Res Turning Point Alcohol, Gertrude St 54-62, Fitzroy, Vic 3065, AustraliaAER Ctr Alcohol Policy Res Turning Point Alcohol, Fitzroy, Vic 3065, AustraliaDrug Ctr, Fitzroy, Vic, AustraliaUniv Melbourne, Sch Populat Hlth, Melbourne, Vic, Australia<br/ >678OSTimes Cited:8Cited References Count:56en
