Abstract

Background and Objectives

Cannabis use is highly prevalent among individuals with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV) and among people who drink alcohol. Motives for cannabis use are important correlates of consumption and problem severity. However, no research has examined cannabis use motives among couples with IPV. The goals of the study were to examine (1) the associations between a person and their partner's cannabis use motives; and (2) examine the extent to which each partners' cannabis use motives are related to their own and their partner's cannabis consumption.

Methods

Participants were 100 couples (n = 92 different-sex couples, n = 8 same-sex couples) who reported physical IPV in their current relationship.

Results

Certain cannabis motives (coping and conformity) and behaviors (cannabis use frequency, quantity and drug-related problems) were positively associated between intimate partners. One's own higher coping motives were associated with greater frequency of cannabis consumption; higher conformity motives were associated with less quantity of consumption; higher social motives were associated with greater quantity of cannabis consumption; and one's partner's social motives were associated with less quantity of cannabis consumption.

Discussion and Conclusions

Findings suggest that couples report similar motives for cannabis use, and that one's own and their partner's motives may differentially influence frequency and quantity of use.

Scientific Significance

This study provides novel information on congruency between cannabis use motives and behaviors between intimate partners, as well as how both an individual and their partner's motives for use can influence an individual's cannabis use behaviors.

对有亲密伴侣暴力和酗酒障碍的夫妇使用大麻动机的研究。

背景和目的在有亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）史的人群和饮酒人群中，大麻的使用非常普遍。使用大麻的动机是消费和问题严重程度的重要相关因素。然而，目前还没有研究对有亲密伴侣暴力史的夫妇使用大麻的动机进行调查。本研究的目标是：(1) 研究个人及其伴侣使用大麻的动机之间的关联；(2) 研究每个伴侣使用大麻的动机在多大程度上与他们自己及其伴侣的大麻消费有关。结果亲密伴侣之间的某些大麻动机（应对和顺从）和行为（大麻使用频率、数量和毒品相关问题）呈正相关。自己的应对动机越高，吸食大麻的频率越高；顺从动机越高，吸食大麻的数量越少；社交动机越高，吸食大麻的数量越多；伴侣的社交动机越高，吸食大麻的数量越少。讨论和结论：研究结果表明，夫妻报告使用大麻的动机相似，而个人及其伴侣的动机可能会对使用频率和数量产生不同的影响。这项研究提供了关于亲密伴侣之间使用大麻的动机和行为之间一致性的新信息，以及个人及其伴侣的使用动机如何影响个人的大麻使用行为。
