“…However, despite LGBTQIA+ people having both high rates of alcohol use and IPV, little research has investigated the temporal relationship between IPV and alcohol use in this population. IPV is often found to be associated with alcohol use in specific LGBTQIA+ subgroups (e.g., cisgender men who have sex with men, cisgender women who have sex with women women) (Basting et al, 2023;Davis et al, 2016;Kimmes et al, 2019;King et al, 2022), but current knowledge of the role that IPV plays in alcohol use among LGBTQIA+ people is limited by cross-sectional designs and a preponderance of evidence focusing on cisgender men who have sex with men (Kim & Schmuhl, 2021;Porsch et al, 2022). This precludes researchers from drawing causal inferences and, perhaps more importantly, developing effective evidenceinformed interventions for alcohol use for LGBTQIA+ communities that are inclusive of their relationship experiences.…”
