有大量的理论和经验证据将药物滥用与婚姻暴力联系起来。然而，在打人者群体中，研究人员没有比较危险和非危险饮酒者的物质使用特征、婚姻攻击、婚外暴力（即，一般暴力），抑郁症，婚姻满意度和其他相关变量。此外，以前对打人者群体中物质使用和滥用的研究大多采用了单一的、非标准化的物质使用衡量标准，而且以前的研究没有研究过法院授权的打人者关系伙伴的物质使用情况。我们招募了150名因暴力而被捕的男子，并将其提交给法庭进行干预。我们管理了多种物质使用和滥用措施，并评估了殴打者的婚姻攻击，关系满意度，抑郁症，一般暴力的使用，以及他们的关系伴侣的物质使用。我们还将样本分为危险饮酒者（HD）和非危险饮酒者（NHD）组。在整个样本中，一半的殴打者有酒精相关的诊断，大约三分之一的人报告了与药物相关的诊断一致的症状。超过三分之一的总样本报告说，他们的关系伙伴是危险的饮酒者。相对于NHD组，HD组在一般暴力、抑郁症、酒精使用、酒精问题和药物问题方面得分显著更高。HD组还报告了相对于NHD组显著更高的伴侣酒精和药物使用和滥用评分。这项研究的结果表明，物质使用和滥用应定期评估的一部分，打人者干预和打人者计划将通过提供辅助或综合酒精治疗得到改善。
There is extensive theoretical and empirical evidence linking substance abuse and marital violence. However in batterer populations, researchers have not compared hazardous and nonhazardous drinkers' substance use characteristics, marital aggression, extramarital violence (i.e., general violence), depressive symptomatology, marital satisfaction, and other relevant variables. In addition, much of the previous research on substance use and abuse in batterer populations employed a single, nonstandard‐ized measure of substance use, and no previous research has examined substance use in court‐mandated batterers' relationship partners. We recruited 150 men who were arrested for violence and court‐referred to batterer intervention programs. We administered multiple measures of substance use and abuse and assessed the batterers ' marital aggression, relationship satisfaction, depressive symptomatology, use of general violence, and their relationship partners' substance use. We also divided the sample into groups of Hazardous Drinkers (HD) and Nonhazardous Drinkers (NHD). Across the entire sample, half of the batterers had an alcohol‐related diagnosis and approximately one third reported symptoms consistent with a drug‐related diagnosis. Over one third of the total sample reported that their relationship partners were hazardous drinkers. Relative to the NHD group, the HD group scored significantly higher on measures of general violence, depressive symptomatology, alcohol use, alcohol problems, and drug problems. The HD group also reported significantly higher partner alcohol and drug use and abuse scores, relative to the NHD group. The results of the study suggest that substance use and abuse should routinely be assessed as part of batterer interventions and that batterer programs would be improved by offering adjunct or integrated alcohol treatment.
