Despite the high prevalence of alcohol-related problems and disorders among women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV), factors related to current alcohol use are understudied. We examined current risk factors for alcohol-related problems among 143 substance-using, IPV-exposed women recruited from an urban community from 2007 to 2010. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity was associated with alcohol-related problems and a positive alcohol screen; physical IPV severity was related to alcohol dependence. Post hoc analyses revealed that PTSD symptom severity mediated relationships between physical IPV severity and hazardous, harmful, and dependent drinking. Focusing on managing PTSD symptoms and physical IPV in community-based interventions may halt the progression from alcohol use to dependence.
尽管遭受亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的女性中存在与酒精相关的问题和障碍的高流行率,但与当前酒精使用相关的因素仍研究不足。我们研究了 2007 年至 2010 年期间从城市社区招募的 143 名使用物质的 IPV 暴露女性的当前与酒精相关问题的风险因素。创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状严重程度与酒精相关问题和阳性酒精筛查有关;身体上的 IPV 严重程度与酒精依赖有关。事后分析显示,PTSD 症状严重程度在身体上的 IPV 严重程度与危险、有害和依赖饮酒之间的关系中起中介作用。在基于社区的干预措施中,重点关注管理 PTSD 症状和身体上的 IPV 可能会阻止从饮酒到依赖的进展。
