Notes:	Using data from the [US] National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Clinical Trials Network multi-site “Women and Trauma Study”, these researchers investigated the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD). Currently, little is known about how treatment for PTSD-SUD impacts the incidence of IPV. Women participants were allocated to either the Seeking Safety:treatment, a cognitive behavioural therapy or Women’s Health Education:, a psycho-educational intervention which served as a control. No significant difference in IPV experiences was found between the two treatment groups. However, a sub-group of women who were significantly less likely to report IPV at the follow-up were those who reported being abstinent at the baseline and had undergone the Seeking Safety:treatment. It is suggested that more research is necessary to test how integrated treatment can be used to reduce the incidence of IPV in a population of women experiencing PTSD and SUD.
