Intimate Partner Violence and Reproductive Health Among Methamphetamine-Using Women in Los Angeles: A Qualitative Pilot Study

Abstract: Among women, methamphetamine (meth) use has been associated with intimate partner violence (IPV); however, few studies have looked at the context of IPV. This qualitative pilot study explored the experiences of meth-using women in Los Angeles County regarding (1) IPV in their most recent primary relationship, (2) use of contraception and reproductive health services, and (3) meth use during pregnancy. Participants (n=30) were recruited through community advertising and at 3 addiction treatment centers to parti… Show more

“…Research further suggests that women who use methamphetamine experience elevated risk for violence and associated health harms, including adverse reproductive harms and HIV infection (Abdul-Khabir, Hall, Swanson, & Shoptaw, 2014; Lorvick et al, 2012; Stockman et al, 2014). Media portrayals of methamphetamine have played on these harms to generate a particular kind of dehumanizing moral panic, including gendered representations of women as sexually depraved, irresponsible mothers who neglect their caretaking responsibilities and men as violent criminals who control the drug market and cajole women into using methamphetamine (Linnemann, 2010).…”

“…For the memory probe trials, two different outcomes were analyzed: latency to first target platform crossing and number of platform crossings. Data were fit onto a Cox proportional hazards regression model of latency on genotype using the R package survival (86). The proportional hazards assumption was examined by visual inspection of the curves of the natural logarithm of the cumulative hazard function versus latency for each of the four genotypes.…”

“…10 Jahre später analysierte die Forschergruppe um Abdul-Khabir [54] in einer qualitativen Untersuchung die interpersonale Gewalt in Partnerschaften von MethA-abhängigen Frauen und fand heraus, dass 63 % von ihnen Gewalt erfuhren; davon waren 79 % Opfer körperlichen oder sexuellen Missbrauchs, 21 % dagegen waren ausschließlich aktiv gewalttätig und 42 % waren gleichermaßen Täterin und Empfängerin. Die aktuelle Mixed-Methods-Studie von Watt und Kollegen [53] nennt ähnliche Zahlen zu gewaltbezogenen Opfer-und Täterrollen MethA-konsumierender Frauen; zusätzlich korrelierten beide Rollen hoch mit weiteren psychischen Traumata, im Sinne einer post-traumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTSD).…”

“…Persönlichkeit, psychische Komorbidität und sexuelles Risikoverhalten in Verbindung mit der Tatsache, dass sich viele der Me-thA-konsumierenden Frauen in einem gebärfähigen Alter befinden, bedingen eine erhöhte Anzahl an Fehlgeburten und (ungewollten) Schwangerschaften [73,74]. Während jede dritte Schwangerschaft abgebrochen wird, ist es v. a. besorgniserregend, dass viele Frauen ihren Konsum auch in der fortschreitenden Schwangerschaft uneingeschränkt fortsetzen; nur wenige nehmen sie zum Anlass, den MethA-Gebrauch einzustellen oder zumindest zu reduzieren [54]. Diese Entwicklungen und Folgen des pränatalen Konsums für die Kinder sind zunehmend zentrale Studienthemen (z.…”
