“…Additional research is needed to further examine why there may be significant differences between violence groups in regards to cocaine use or related problems. Specifically, research examining social contextual information and substance use in more detail and/or examining such factors in specific violence incidents (across partner and non-partner incidents) may provide important information regarding potential differences in how cocaine use or use of other substances may be related to violence across relationship types (Chermack et al, 2010; Epstein-Ngo et al, 2013). …”

The study examined clinical characteristics and treatment interests of individuals identified to have substance use disorders (SUDs) in an urban emergency department (ED) who reported past six-month history of violence or victimization. Specifically, participants were 1441 ED patients enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of interventions designed to link those with SUDs to treatment. To examine factors related to violence type, four groups based on participants’ reports of violence toward others were created: no violence (46.8%), partner violence only (17.3%), non-partner violence only (20.2%), and both partner and non-partner violence (15.7%). Four groups based on participants’ reports of victimization were also created: no violence (42.1%), victimization from partner only (18.7%), victimization from non-partner only (20.2%), and both partner and non-partner victimization (17.7%). Separate multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine which variables distinguished the violence and victimization groups from those reporting no violence or victimization. For violence toward others, demographic variables, alcohol and cocaine disorders, and rating treatment for psychological problems were higher for violence groups, with some differences depending on type of violence. For victimization, demographic variables, having an alcohol disorder, and rating treatment for family/social problems were higher for violence groups, also with some differences depending on type of violence. Findings from the present study could be useful for designing effective brief interventions and services for ED settings.

“…Previous research has explored the connection between substance use and dating violence with a dating or married partner among a general youth sample from the ED (Epstein-Ngo et al, 2013;Walton et al, 2009) and among adult samples (Karandikar and Próspero, 2010;Taylor, 2011;Williamson and Cluse-Tolar, 2002). The current fi ndings expand on prior research by showing that dating violence and TS are also related among TS-involved adolescents and emerging adults.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The current study aims to evaluate individual, relational, and community-level risk and promotive factors for transactional sex involvement among substance-using youth. Method: Youth (ages 14-24 years) presenting for care in an urban emergency department, who reported drug use within the past 6 months, were surveyed as part of a larger study assessing violence. Of the 600 youth enrolled in this study, 350 presented to the emergency department with violent injury. Based on youth presenting with violent injury, a proportionally selected (age and gender) comparison group of youth (n = 250) presenting without violent injury were enrolled. Participants were queried about both risk and promotive factors at the individual, relational, and community levels. Results: Of the sample, 7.3% reported involvement in transactional sex within the past month. Regression analyses indicated that being African American or other race (as compared with White), having more than one sexual partner, depressive symptoms, negative peer infl uence, and substance use treatment utilization were positively associated with transactional sex involvement. Increased school involvement was negatively related to involvement in transactional sex. Conclusions: Drug-using youth who reported recent transactional sex involvement are more likely to experience increased HIV risk, depressive symptoms, and negative peer infl uence and are less likely to experience the promotive factors of school involvement. Future research is needed to better understand the bidirectional relationship between transactional sex involvement and both risk and promotive factors at multiple ecological levels. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 75, 573-579, 2014)

“…In a sample of women arrested for domestic violence, also using 180 days of TLFB data, alcohol use predicted physical IPA but marijuana did not [42]. Using 30 days of TLFB data within a sample of 599 youth (ages 14–24) presenting to an urban emergency department, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine use were all more likely to be reported on days of dating aggression [43]. However, in multilevel analyses, marijuana use failed to exert an independent effect on IPA, possibly because it was used in conjunction with other substances.…”

Does marijuana use contribute to intimate partner aggression? A brief review and directions for future research

Marijuana users are more likely to perpetrate intimate partner aggression (IPA) than non-users, yet the mechanism responsible for this association is unknown. Recent studies considering the association between episodes of marijuana use and episodes of IPA have failed to find evidence consistent with an acute effect of marijuana. Research gaps are highlighted and a heuristic model of marijuana’s potential effects on IPA is presented. Research priorities include consideration of mediating mechanisms, moderating variables at the individual and couple level, and examination of acute effects of marijuana using daily report and EMA designs.
