This paper examines the relationships between alcohol outlet density, alcohol use, and perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) among young adult women in the US. Data were from Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health; = 4,430 in present analyses). Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine occurrence of past year IPV perpetration toward a male partner based on tract-level on-premise and off-premise alcohol outlet density, controlling for individuals' demographic, alcohol use, and childhood abuse characteristics and neighborhood socio-demographic factors. Higher off-premise alcohol outlet density was found to be associated with young women's perpetration of physical only IPV, controlling for individual-level and ecological factors. Alcohol use had an independent association with IPV perpetration but was not a mediator of the outlet density-IPV relationship. Findings suggest that considering alcohol-related environmental factors may help efforts aimed at preventing young women's use of physical violence toward partners.
本文研究了美国年轻成年女性中酒精销售点密度、酒精使用与亲密伴侣暴力行为（IPV）之间的关系。数据来自青少年健康全国纵向研究的第三波（“增加健康”研究；在当前分析中有4430人）。采用多项逻辑回归分析，基于社区层面的店内和店外酒精销售点密度，考察过去一年针对男性伴侣实施IPV行为的发生率，并对个体的人口统计学特征、酒精使用情况、童年受虐特征以及社区社会人口学因素进行控制。研究发现，在控制个体层面和生态因素后，店外酒精销售点密度较高与年轻女性仅实施身体暴力的IPV行为有关。酒精使用与IPV行为存在独立关联，但并非销售点密度与IPV关系的中介因素。研究结果表明，考虑与酒精相关的环境因素可能有助于预防年轻女性对伴侣实施身体暴力的工作。
