Caetano R, et al. - Researchers examined ethnic-specific 12-month rates of physical intimate partner violence (IPV) by severity. In addition, they assessed their association with drinking and other sociodemographic and personality correlates in an urban emergency department (ED) sample. At an urban ED, 1,037 patients were surveyed regarding IPV exposure as well as patterns of alcohol and drug use, psychological distress, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and other sociodemographic features. IPV rates varied considerably across ethnic groups in the sample. Surprisingly, there appeared no association between respondents’ drinking and IPV. This may be due to the relatively moderate levels of drinking in the sample. In line with prior literature, results for ethnicity showed higher IPV rates among black vs Hispanic individuals.
