“…Their standardized residual of 2.2 is large compared to that of victims (-.7) and perpetrators (1.8). These findings may even suggest that IPV participants essentially double their risk of using drugs in their roles as both victims and perpetrators, as drug use may be both a risk factor and a consequence of IPV (19, 46, 55, 56). These risk factors and relationships underscore the need to screen for and assess drug and alcohol use in emergency department settings when IPV is suspected (57).…”

Background Domestic intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious healthcare concern, which may be mitigated by early detection, screening and intervention. Objectives We examine posited predictors in IPV and non-IPV groups, and in four different IPV profiles. Possible factors include a) alcohol use, b) drug use, d) depression, e) impulsivity, f) age, and g) any childhood experience in observing parental violence. We also introduce a new “Five Steps in Screening for IPV” quick reference tool, which may assist ED physicians in detection and treatment. Methods This was a cross-sectional study using survey data from 412 inner-city ED patients. Associations were explored using a chi-squared test of independence, independent-samples t-tests, and a one way analysis of variance. Results Nearly 16% had experienced IPV. As a group, they were younger, and more depressed and impulsive than the non-IPV group. They were more likely to engage in binge drinking, use drugs, and had more childhood exposure to violence. In the IPV group, 31% were perpetrators, 20% victims, and 49% both victims and perpetrators. The latter group was younger, more impulsive and depressed, used drugs, and was more likely to have observed parental violence as a child. Conclusion Correlates in groups affected by IPV indicate the same general risk factors, which appear to more acutely affect those who are both perpetrators and victims. Alcohol and drug use, depressive symptoms and childhood exposure to violence may be factors and signs for which emergency physicians should screen in the context of IPV.

“…In addition to providing general primary care, EDs often serve as the entry point for abused individuals seeking specialized services (19). Emergency physicians are in a unique position to immediately detect and investigate such abuse, and to refer patients to appropriate and necessary services (20, 21).…”

“…Although previous studies have found a relationship between physical aggression and methamphetamine use, the populations studied included intimate partner violence reported to police (Ernst, Weiss, Enright-Smith, Hilton, & Byrd, 2008), adults incarcerated for criminal behaviors (Cartier et al, 2006) adolescents in a juvenile justice system (Miura, Fujiki, Shibata, & Ishikawa, 2006) and men and women in treatment for methamphetamine dependence (Cohen et al, 2003). These studies, which focused on expressed violence, may have also included methamphetamine users with more severe problems, including criminal behaviors.…”

Substance use and physical violence often co-occur, but little has been published on the correlates associated with receipt of partner versus non-partner physical violence for rural users of methamphetamine and/or cocaine. In this study, participants’ substance use, depression and past-year physical victimization were assessed. In separate logistic regression models, received partner violence in females was associated with age; alcohol, cocaine and methamphetamine abuse/dependence; and number of drugs used in the past six months. In males, received non-partner violence was associated with age, cocaine abuse/dependence and being Caucasian. Findings suggest a relationship between stimulant use and received violence among rural substance users and a need for victimization screenings in settings where such individuals seek health care.

“…Outcomes for these studies included improvements in child behaviors (McFarlane et al, 2005a, 2005bin Rizo et al, 2011) and an increase in child understanding of IPV, safety planning and non-self-blame (Ernst et al, 2008in Rizo et al, 2011.…”
