Abstract
Aims: This study explores the prevalence and predictors reported in 2019 by men and women of alcohol-related intimate partner violence (ARIPV), that is, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and being put in fear by intimate partners, when partners were under the influence of alcohol.
Methods: Secondary data analysis of the 2019 Australia’s cross-sectional National Drug Strategy Household Survey included 22,015 respondents aged 14 years or older (9,804 men, and 12,211 women). The prevalence of ARIPV and each type of ARIPV (verbal abuse, physical abuse, and being put in fear) in the past year is described, and the predictors of all are analysed using chi-square tests and logistic regressions, overall and separately for men and women.
Results: An estimated 3.4% of the Australian adult population (4.7% women, 2.1% men) reported ARIPV in 2019. The prevalence of ARIPV was higher among the participants who were women, middle-aged (35-44 years), had a certificate or diploma, were less advantaged, were divorced, separated, or widowed, single with dependents, living in more regional, and remote areas, and undertook heavy episodic drinking (HED) weekly or less often. Age, marital status, household composition, and weekly, monthly, or ever HED predicted ARIPV for women, while higher education levels and weekly or monthly HED were significant for men.
Discussion and conclusions: Women were twice as likely to report intimate partner violence (IPV) from their male partner when they were under the influence of alcohol, as were men. The findings underline that interventions are needed to address IPV from intoxicated partners.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
