Studies have consistently shown an association between alcohol use in adulthood and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. Yet, no known studies have examined this relationship when considering social support as a potential moderator with a sample of Black men. To address this gap in knowledge, we examined the moderating role of interpersonal social support on alcohol use in adulthood and physical IPV perpetration among Black men. Data for 1,127 Black men were obtained from the National Epidemiologic Survey of Alcohol and Related Condition (NESARC, Wave 2). Descriptive and logistic regression models were run with weighted data using STATA 16.0. Results from logistic regression analyses revealed that alcohol use in adulthood significantly predicted IPV perpetration (odds ratio [] = 1.18, < .001). Interpersonal social support significantly moderated ( = 1.01, = .002) the relationship between alcohol use and IPV perpetration among Black men. Additionally, age, income, and perceived stress were significantly associated with IPV perpetration among Black men. Our study findings highlight the role of alcohol use and social support in exacerbating IPV perpetration among Black men, and the need for culturally responsive interventions to address these public health concerns throughout the life course.
研究一致表明，成年人的饮酒行为与亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的实施之间存在关联。然而，在考虑社会支持作为一个潜在的调节因素时，没有已知的研究在黑人群体中检验这种关系。为了弥补这一知识空白，我们研究了人际社会支持在成年饮酒行为和黑人男性身体 IPV 实施之间的调节作用。来自全国酒精流行病学调查和相关条件（NESARC，第 2 波）的 1127 名黑人男性的数据被用于研究。使用 STATA 16.0 对加权数据进行了描述性和逻辑回归模型分析。逻辑回归分析的结果表明，成年饮酒行为显著预测了 IPV 的实施（优势比 []=1.18，<0.001）。人际社会支持显著调节（=1.01，=0.002）了黑人群体中饮酒行为与 IPV 实施之间的关系。此外，年龄、收入和感知压力与黑人男性的 IPV 实施显著相关。我们的研究结果强调了饮酒行为和社会支持在加剧黑人男性 IPV 实施方面的作用，以及需要针对这些公共卫生问题在整个生命过程中开展文化响应性干预措施。
