Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health problem. Substance use, particularly alcohol, is a robust risk factor for IPV. There is a small but growing body of research demonstrating that marijuana use is positively associated with IPV perpetration. However, research on marijuana use and IPV has failed to control for other known predictors of IPV that may account for the positive association between marijuana use and IPV perpetration. Therefore, the current study examined whether marijuana use was associated with IPV perpetration after controlling for alcohol use and problems, antisocial personality symptoms, and relationship satisfaction, all known risk factors for IPV. Participants were men arrested for domestic violence and court-referred to batterer intervention programs ( = 269). Findings demonstrated that marijuana use was positively and significantly associated with psychological, physical, and sexual IPV perpetration, even after controlling for alcohol use and problems, antisocial personality symptoms, and relationship satisfaction. Moreover, marijuana use and alcohol use and problems interacted to predict sexual IPV, such that marijuana use was associated with sexual IPV at high, but not low, levels of alcohol use and problems. These findings lend additional support to the body of research demonstrating that marijuana use is positively associated with IPV perpetration in a variety of samples. Results suggest that additional, rigorous research is needed to further explore why and under what conditions marijuana is associated with IPV perpetration.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个严重的公共卫生问题。物质使用，尤其是酒精，是IPV的一个有力风险因素。有少量但不断增加的研究表明，使用大麻与实施IPV呈正相关。然而，关于使用大麻与IPV的研究未能控制其他已知的IPV预测因素，这些因素可能解释了使用大麻与实施IPV之间的正相关关系。因此，本研究考察了在控制酒精使用及问题、反社会人格症状和关系满意度（所有这些都是已知的IPV风险因素）之后，使用大麻是否与实施IPV有关。参与者是因家庭暴力被捕并被法院转介到施暴者干预项目的男性（ = 269）。研究结果表明，即使在控制了酒精使用及问题、反社会人格症状和关系满意度之后，使用大麻与心理、身体和性方面的IPV实施仍呈显著正相关。此外，使用大麻与酒精使用及问题相互作用，可预测性方面的IPV，即使用大麻与高酒精使用及问题水平下的性方面IPV有关，但与低酒精使用及问题水平下的性方面IPV无关。这些发现为表明使用大麻与各种样本中的IPV实施呈正相关的研究提供了更多支持。结果表明，需要进行更多严格的研究，以进一步探讨大麻为何以及在何种情况下与IPV实施有关。
