Abstract

Background

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health concern. Although some studies have identified cross-sectional associations between IPV victimization and smoking, longitudinal research remains limited. This study investigated the association between IPV victimization and smoking initiation and cessation among Korean adults.

Methods

This study included adult participants from the Korean Welfare Panel Study 2009–2023 (n = 13,450; observations = 108,932). Experiences of non-physical and overt physical IPV within the past year were assessed. The outcome measure was the incidence of smoking initiation and cessation in the following year. Generalized estimating equations were used to account for repeated measures. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to represent the associations.

Results

Among the overall sample, individuals exposed to non-physical or physical IPV had 1.36-fold (95% CI: 1.18–1.56) and 2.69-fold (95% CI: 1.77–4.08) higher odds of smoking initiation, respectively, compared to those not exposed to IPV. Furthermore, verbal IPV, threats of physical IPV, and physical IPV were associated with 1.43-fold (95% CI: 1.24–1.63), 1.74-fold (95% CI: 1.26–2.39), and 2.44-fold (95% CI: 1.60–3.72) increased odds of smoking initiation, respectively. These associations were observed in both men and women. However, no clear association was found between IPV and smoking cessation in the subsequent years.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that individuals who experienced IPV had an increased likelihood of smoking initiation one year after exposure. Consequently, policy interventions aimed at preventing IPV are warranted.

韩国已婚成年人中亲密伴侣暴力受害与开始和戒烟之间的关系。

背景：亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个全球性的公共卫生问题。虽然一些研究已经确定了IPV受害与吸烟之间的横断面关联，但纵向研究仍然有限。本研究调查了韩国成年人中IPV受害与吸烟开始和戒烟之间的关系。方法：本研究纳入了2009-2023年韩国福利委员会研究的成年参与者（n = 13,450；观察 = 108,932）。评估过去一年内的非物质性和显性物质性IPV经历。结果测量是第二年开始吸烟和戒烟的发生率。使用广义估计方程来解释重复测量。计算比值比和95%置信区间（ci）来表示相关性。结果：在整个样本中，与未暴露于IPV的个体相比，暴露于非物理或物理IPV的个体开始吸烟的几率分别高出1.36倍（95% CI: 1.18-1.56）和2.69倍（95% CI: 1.77-4.08）。此外，言语IPV、身体IPV威胁和身体IPV分别与1.43倍（95% CI: 1.24-1.63）、1.74倍（95% CI: 1.26-2.39）和2.44倍（95% CI: 1.60-3.72）增加的吸烟开始几率相关。这些关联在男性和女性身上都观察到了。然而，在随后的几年里，IPV和戒烟之间没有明显的联系。结论：本研究表明，经历过IPV的个体在接触一年后开始吸烟的可能性增加。因此，有必要采取旨在预防IPV的政策干预措施。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
