The Relationship Between Intimate Partner Violence and Substance Use

As if you something else to add to your pile of articles…the National Center for Domestic Violence, Trauma and Mental Health has a recently published applied research paper available: The Relationship Between Intimate Partner Violence and Substance Use (PDF). A summary of the paper (and more) after the jump.

This paper provides a summary of recent research on the relationship between intimate partner violence and substance use or substance use disorders. Next, caveats for interpreting this body of research are provided. The discussion examines methodological strengths and limitations of the existing research, and concludes with recommendations for future research and practice.

They also have a recent research brief on their site: Women Who Experience Intimate Partner Violence and Prenatal and/or Postpartum Depression: Prevalence and Interventions (PDF).
