“…Bennett & Williams, 2003; Foran & O’Leary, 2008; Langenderfer, 2013; World Health Organization, 2010) but also is one important predictor of both IPV perpetrators’ treatment attrition and recidivism (e.g., Bowen & Gilchrist, 2006; Cadsky et al, 1996; Daly & Pelowski, 2000; Hilton & Harris, 2005; Olver, Stockdale, & Wormith, 2011; for a review, see Jewell & Wormith, 2010). The strong association between alcohol abuse and IPV perpetration is well illustrated by the fact that about 50% of IPV perpetrators referred to BIPs have some alcohol abuse problems (AAPs; Arteaga, López-Goñi, & Fernández-Montalvo, 2015; O’Farrell, Van Hutton, & Murphy, 1999; Stuart, Moore, Kahler, & Ramsey, 2003; Stuart, O’Farrell, & Temple, 2009). The strong link between alcohol abuse and IPV led the World Health Organization (2010) to recommend the reduction of alcohol abuse through prevention interventions as a strategy to reduce IPV.…”

There is general consensus that alcohol abuse is a risk factor to be considered in batterer intervention programs. Intimate partner violence perpetrators with alcohol abuse problems are more likely to dropout of batterer intervention programs. However, there is little research on intimate partner violence perpetrators with alcohol abuse problems completing batterer intervention programs. In this study, we analyze drop-out rates among perpetrators with alcohol abuse problems and explore whether perpetrators with alcohol abuse problems completing a batterer intervention program differ from those who do not have alcohol abuse problems in a number of outcomes. The sample was 286 males convicted for intimate partner violence against women, attending a community-based batterer intervention program. Final (i.e., recidivism) and proximal (i.e., risk of recidivism, responsibility attributions, attitudes toward violence, sexism, psychological adjustment, and social integration) intervention outcomes were analyzed. Chi-square test, binary logistic regression, and one-way ANOVA were conducted. Results confirmed higher dropout rates among perpetrators with alcohol abuse problems. Results also showed a reduction in alcohol abuse among perpetrators with alcohol abuse problems completing the batterer intervention program. Finally, results showed that, regardless of alcohol abuse problems, perpetrators who completed the batterer intervention program showed improvements in all intervention outcomes analyzed. Perpetrators both with and without alcohol abuse problems can show positive changes after completing an intervention program and, in this regard, the present study highlights the need to design more effective adherence strategies for intimate partner violence perpetrators, especially for those with alcohol abuse problems.

“…The same meta-analysis also found that greater drugrelated problem severity was associated with increased risk for IPV perpetration (Cafferky et al, 2018). In fact, among individuals seeking treatment for substance use, those who report IPV display more severe drug use problems (Arteaga et al, 2015;Schumm et al, 2018).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a maladaptive conflict behavior, and IPV is both a precipitant and consequence of drug use problems among couples. It is unknown how drug use problem severity modulates the association between IPV and observed conflict behaviors. As part of a larger clinical trial, a sample of 30 different-sex substance-misusing couples completed self-report questionnaires and participated in a laboratory conflict resolution task. The current exploratory study tested whether drug use severity moderated the association between IPV perpetration and positive and negative conflict resolution behaviors, respectively, while controlling for IPV victimization. The results suggest that among men, drug use severity moderates the association between psychological IPV perpetration and negative conflict behaviors. Men who report more severe IPV display more negative behaviors when their drug use problems are more severe. Among women, drug use severity moderated the effect between psychological IPV perpetration and negative conflict behaviors among women, such that women with lower drug use problem severity displayed more negative conflict behaviors when psychological IPV perpetration was more versus less severe. Drug use severity also moderated the association between physical IPV perpetration and negative and positive conflict behaviors among women. That is, women who reported more severe physical IPV displayed more negative and fewer positive behaviors when their drug use problems were more severe. Results have preliminary implications for targeting conflict resolution strategies differentially in men and women with drug use and a history of IPV perpetration. Future studies should replicate the current findings in larger, more representative samples, and examine the role specific drugs have on the association between IPV and conflict behaviors.

“…Researchers have consistently found an association between drug abuse and IPV perpetration (Arteaga et al, 2015;Epstein-Ngo et al, 2014;Smith et al, 2012;Stith et al, 2004;Taft et al, 2010). For example, among a nationally representative sample of 530 married or cohabitating men, those with a lifetime diagnosis of alcohol or substance abuse or dependence were almost two times more likely to perpetrate physical IPV than men without alcohol/substance abuse or dependence (Singh, Tolman, et al, 2014).…”

Background: Drug use is associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration among men, but few studies have examined the relation between prescription opioid misuse and IPV perpetration. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between prescription opioid misuse and IPV perpetration while controlling for demographic, depression, alcohol, and illicit drug use risk factors among a non-clinical, nationally representative sample of young men aged 18-35. Methods: Cross-sectional survey in August 2014 of 1,053 partnered men aged 18-35 in a nationally representative sample of the adult U.S. population. The survey assessed physical IPV perpetration, depressive symptoms, alcohol misuse, marijuana use, illegal drug use, prescription opioid misuse, and demographic characteristics. We calculated descriptive statistics and conducted weighted bivariate and multivariate logistic regression to assess associations of IPV perpetration with prescription opioid misuse and other known IPV risk factors. Results: Weighted analyses show 19.4% of men reported IPV perpetration in the current or most recent relationship, and 7.3% reported prescription opioid misuse in the past year. After controlling for marijuana use, illegal drug use, depressive symptoms, and demographic characteristics, prescription opioid misuse in the past year (A.O.R. ¼ 1.94, 95% CI ¼ 1.33-2.84) was associated with increased odds of young men's physical IPV perpetration in the current or most recent relationship. Conclusions/importance: Prescription opioid misuse is associated with IPV perpetration at a population-level among young men and is not unique to clinical samples. Prevention and intervention strategies should be developed to simultaneously target prescription opioid misuse and IPV perpetration.

Differential profiles of drug-addicted patients according to gender and the perpetration of intimate partner violence

Abstract: According to the results obtained, treatment programs for drug addiction are a suitable context for identifying the presence of IPV, but IPV is typically unnoticed in addiction treatment programs. The implications of these results for future research and clinical practice are discussed.
