Alcohol policies and alcohol involvement in intimate partner homicide in the U.S.

American Journal of Preventive Medicine Jun 28, 2019

Lira MC, et al. - Researchers conducted this repeated cross-sectional study describing alcohol involvement, and the association between alcohol policies and alcohol involvement, among victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) homicides in the United States. From 17 states in the National Violent Death Reporting System, they analyzed 2003-2012 homicide victim data. Outcomes revealed a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) > 0.00% in 36.5% of primary and 41.1% of corollary victims. A BAC ≥ 0.08% was reported in 67.6% of the victims with a positive BAC, indicating that—among victims of IPV homicide—alcohol use is prevalent. Reduced odds of alcohol involvement were noted in correlation to more-restrictive alcohol policies. This supports the promising value of strengthening alcohol policies to decrease alcohol-involved IPV homicide victimization.
