Perpetration of intimate partner violence by young adult males: the association with alcohol outlet density and drinking behavior.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Objective
This study examined the association between alcohol outlet density and male to female intimate partner violence (IPV).Method
Data were analyzed from a national probability sample of males who reported a current heterosexual relationship (N=3194). Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the likelihood of having perpetrated IPV.Results
High alcohol outlet density was associated with having perpetrated physical only IPV (odds ratio [OR]=2.51; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21-5.20). Outlet density was not associated with greater odds of sexual IPV perpetration.Conclusions
Alcohol outlet density was found to be associated with perpetration of physical IPV. Developing environmental strategies with respect to alcohol outlets could potentially reduce perpetration of male-to-female physical IPV.
