“…They also were asked to record the number of days that they used each of the following: marijuana, cocaine or crack, stimulants (prescribed and nonprescribed), opiates (prescribed and nonprescribed), sedatives (prescribed and nonprescribed), and heroin. The SAOM has demonstrated strong psychometric properties, including high internal consistency (Chermack et al, 2000), test-retest reliability (Smith et al, 2006), and concurrent validity with widely used measures of alcohol and drug problem severity measures such as the Addiction Severity Index (McLellan et al, 1992). Although the SAOM asks questions about both prescription use and illicit substance use, the present study focused solely on the illicit use of these substances, whether prescribed or not.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study focused on the prevalence and predictors of psychological aggression, physical aggression, and injury rates in nonintimate partner relationships in a substance-use disorder treatment sample. Method: The sample included 489 (76% men, 24% women) participants who completed screening measures for inclusion in a randomized control trial for an aggression-prevention treatment. Primary outcome measures included rates of past-year psychological aggression, physical aggression, and injury (both from the participant to nonpartners and from nonpartners to the participant). Potential predictors included individual factors (e.g., age, gender), developmental factors (e.g., family history of drug use, childhood physical abuse), and recent factors (e.g., depression, cocaine use). Results: Rates of participant-tononpartner psychological aggression (83%), physical aggression (61%), and injury (47%) were high, as were rates of nonpartner-to-participant aggression. Bivariate analyses revealed signifi cant relationships between the aggression outcomes and most of the individual, developmental, and recent factors. However, multivariate analyses (zero-infl ated Poisson regression) revealed that age, treatment status, current symptoms of depression, heavy periods of drinking, and cocaine use were related most frequently to the occurrence of aggression to and from nonpartners. Conclusions: Nonpartner aggression may be as common within a substance-use disorder sample as partner aggression, and it is associated with heavy drinking episodes, cocaine use, and depressive symptoms. The fi ndings highlight the need for the development of effective violence interventions addressing violence in nonpartner relationship types. (J. Stud.

“…Alcohol and Drug Consumption: Participants were asked about their drug and alcohol use in the 28 days before entering treatment using questions from the University of Arkansas Substance Abuse Outcomes Module (SAOM; Smith et al, 2006). Four questions were asked relating to alcohol: the number of days of alcohol use; average number of drinks consumed each drinking day; maximum number of drinks consumed; and the number of days involving binges (more than five drinks consumed).…”

“…Participants were also asked to record the number of days that they used each of the following: marijuana; cocaine or crack, stimulants (prescribed and non-prescribed); opiates (prescribed and non-prescribed); sedatives (prescribed and non-prescribed); heroin; PCP; other hallucinogens; inhalants; anabolic steroids; and tobacco. The SAOM has undergone extensive reliability and validity examinations (Smith et al, 2006) and has demonstrated strong psychometric properties including high internal consistency (Chermack et al, 2000), test-retest reliability (Smith et al, 2006) and concurrent validity with widely used substance abuse measures such as the Addiction Severity Index (McLellan et al, 1992). The following substance use frequency variables were included in the analyses: heavy drinking days, marijuana use, cocaine use, heroin use, illicit opiate and sedative use, and illicit stimulant use.…”

This study examined intimate partner aggression in a sample of 489 participants enrolled in substance use disorder treatment, and expands on prior research by including measures of various forms of aggression, a mixed gender sample (76% men, 24% women), and measurement of several potential risk domains. Aggression measures included both participant-to-partner and partner-to-participant psychological aggression, physical aggression and injury. Analyses focused on the role of distal and proximal risk factors, including demographics, history of childhood physical and sexual abuse, and family history of problems with alcohol, drugs and depression, as well as recent substance use and symptoms of depression. Overall rates of participant-to-partner psychological aggression (77%), physical aggression (54%) and injuring partners (33%) were high, as were rates of partner-to-participant psychological aggression (73%), physical aggression (51%), and injury (33%). Several distal (family history variables, physical abuse) and proximal factors (binge drinking, several different drugs, depressive symptoms) were bivariately related to most of the aggression measures. However, according to multivariate analyses predicting aggression and injury measures, binge drinking and cocaine use were the drugs significantly associated with most measures, depression symptoms also were related to most aggression and injury measures, and a history of reported childhood physical abuse was related to all frequency of aggression and injury measures among those reporting such behaviors. Overall, the high rates of aggression among both men and women observed in this study further illustrate the need for interventions targeting substance use and aggression, and for further research regarding the interrelationships among substance, aggression and depressive symptoms.
