Drug use is associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration among men, but few studies have examined the relation between prescription opioid misuse and IPV perpetration. : The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between prescription opioid misuse and IPV perpetration while controlling for demographic, depression, alcohol, and illicit drug use risk factors among a non-clinical, nationally representative sample of young men aged 18-35. : Cross-sectional survey in August 2014 of 1,053 partnered men aged 18-35 in a nationally representative sample of the adult U.S. population. The survey assessed physical IPV perpetration, depressive symptoms, alcohol misuse, marijuana use, illegal drug use, prescription opioid misuse, and demographic characteristics. We calculated descriptive statistics and conducted weighted bivariate and multivariate logistic regression to assess associations of IPV perpetration with prescription opioid misuse and other known IPV risk factors. : Weighted analyses show 19.4% of men reported IPV perpetration in the current or most recent relationship, and 7.3% reported prescription opioid misuse in the past year. After controlling for marijuana use, illegal drug use, depressive symptoms, and demographic characteristics, prescription opioid misuse in the past year (A.O.R. = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.33-2.84) was associated with increased odds of young men's physical IPV perpetration in the current or most recent relationship. : Prescription opioid misuse is associated with IPV perpetration at a population-level among young men and is not unique to clinical samples. Prevention and intervention strategies should be developed to simultaneously target prescription opioid misuse and IPV perpetration.
药物使用与男性亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的实施有关，但很少有研究调查处方类阿片类药物滥用与 IPV 实施之间的关系。本研究的目的是在控制人口统计学、抑郁、酒精和非法药物使用风险因素的情况下，研究非临床、全国代表性的 18-35 岁年轻男性中处方类阿片类药物滥用与 IPV 实施之间的关系。2014 年 8 月对全国代表性的成年美国人群中 18-35 岁的 1053 名有伴侣的男性进行横断面调查。该调查评估了身体 IPV 实施、抑郁症状、酒精滥用、大麻使用、非法药物使用、处方类阿片类药物滥用以及人口统计学特征。我们计算了描述性统计数据，并进行了加权双变量和多变量逻辑回归，以评估 IPV 实施与处方类阿片类药物滥用和其他已知的 IPV 风险因素之间的关联。加权分析显示，19.4%的男性报告在当前或最近的关系中实施了 IPV，7.3%的男性报告在过去一年中滥用了处方类阿片类药物。在控制大麻使用、非法药物使用、抑郁症状和人口统计学特征后，过去一年中滥用处方类阿片类药物（AOR=1.94，95%CI=1.33-2.84）与年轻男性在当前或最近关系中身体 IPV 实施的可能性增加有关。在年轻男性中，处方类阿片类药物滥用与人群中 IPV 的实施有关，而且不仅仅局限于临床样本。应该制定预防和干预策略，同时针对处方类阿片类药物滥用和 IPV 实施。
