Indian research on intimate partner violence (IPV) with substance use covers only alcohol, and very few studies have reported on IPV with other substances. The study aims to assess IPV against wives by substance dependent men.
The study sample was recruited by convenient sampling from men (and their wives) seeking treatment at a de-addiction centre in North India between October, 2011 and February, 2012. The consenting wives self-administered the violence questionnaire.
267 wives were recruited into the study. The prevalence rates for IPV were: 55% for the whole sample, 63.19% for alcohol dependence and 42.33% for opioid dependence. IPV was associated with higher age of husband, lower education or unemployment of either spouse, lower income of family and nuclear family structure.
Present research confirms that IPV against wives is highly prevalent among substance dependent men, more with alcohol dependence as compared to opioid dependence. Addressing IPV should be an integral part of substance abuse management.
印度关于亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）与物质使用的研究仅涵盖酒精，很少有研究报道与其他物质相关的亲密伴侣暴力。本研究旨在评估物质依赖男性对妻子的亲密伴侣暴力情况。
研究样本通过便利抽样从2011年10月至2012年2月在印度北部一家戒毒中心寻求治疗的男性（及其妻子）中招募。同意参与的妻子自行填写暴力情况问卷。
267名妻子被纳入研究。亲密伴侣暴力的患病率为：整个样本为55%，酒精依赖者为63.19%，阿片类物质依赖者为42.33%。亲密伴侣暴力与丈夫年龄较大、配偶一方教育程度较低或失业、家庭收入较低以及核心家庭结构有关。
目前的研究证实，物质依赖男性对妻子的亲密伴侣暴力非常普遍，与阿片类物质依赖相比，酒精依赖者中的情况更为严重。解决亲密伴侣暴力问题应成为物质滥用管理的一个组成部分。
