| dc.description.notes | This describes the US study looking at sociodemographic, family violence, and substance use as independent risk factors for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) among black, white and Hispanic women presenting to an urban Emergency Department. It explores the independent contribution of partner alcohol use on IPV victimisation. Case-control study in which cases (182 women identified as having IPV history or concerns) and controls (147 women without IPV) were frequency-matched by age group and race. Logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios for any IPV, physical IPV and sexual IPV. Living with a partner (not married) and witnessing parental violence were independent risk factors for any IPV (after controlling for subject and partner substance use). This suggests that childhood abuse and parental violence may lead to substance use and IPV later in life. Partner’s alcohol use and heavier drinking (but not subject’s substance use) were significant risk factors. It remains unclear whether substance use precedes or follows IPV. These findings and other studies also suggest that women may ‘self-medicate’ to alleviate the effects of partner violence. It concludes that screening for IPV among women who present to the Emergency Department could include questions on substance use among women and their partners, which may assist healthcare providers in identifying women at high risk of IPV, as well as providing an opportunity to give brief intervention or referral for substance abuse treatment. | en |
