目的：在男男性行为者（MSM）中进行的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）研究主要集中在IPV受害和犯罪的普遍性上。虽然饮酒是异性关系中IPV的已知触发因素，但对同性伴侣的饮酒和IPV犯罪和受害知之甚少。本研究的目的是探讨酒精的使用和不同类型的IPV受害和犯下的男男性接触者之间的关联。方法：男男性接触者在纽约市招募在同性恋友好的场所和活动参加一个在线调查，评估社会人口统计学，酒精的使用，和受害/犯下的IPV与定期和临时性伴侣。Logistic回归被用来研究酒精的使用和不同类型的IPV的受害者和performation.Results之间的关联：在189名参与者中，103（54.5%）报告经历了至少一个IPV的发病率犯下的一个固定的合作伙伴和92（48.7%）报告犯下IPV对一个固定的合作伙伴在过去的12个月。较高水平的酒精使用与以下因素显著相关：（1）经常性伴侣的身体/性和HIV相关的IPV受害;（2）临时性伴侣的身体/性、监测和控制IPV受害;（3）经常性伴侣的身体/性、情感、控制和HIV相关的IPV犯罪;（4）临时性伴侣的身体/性和情感IPV犯罪。高水平的酒精使用与不同类型的IPV犯罪和IPV受害的关联表明，需要有针对性的服务，解决酒精使用和IPV的共同发生的问题。
Purpose: Intimate partner violence (IPV) research among men who have sex with men (MSM) has primarily focused on the prevalence of IPV victimization and perpetration. Although alcohol use is a known trigger of IPV in opposite sex relationships, less is known about alcohol use and IPV perpetration and victimization in same-sex couples. The aim of this study was to examine associations between alcohol use and different types of IPV victimization and perpetration among MSM.Methods: MSM in New York City were recruited at gay-friendly venues and events to participate in an online survey assessing sociodemographics, alcohol use, and victimization/perpetration of IPV with both regular and casual sex partners. Logistic regression was used to examine associations between alcohol use and different types of IPV victimization and perpetration.Results: Among 189 participants, 103 (54.5%) reported experiencing at least one incidence of IPV perpetrated by a regular partner and 92 (48.7%) reported having perpetrated IPV against a regular partner in the past 12 months. Higher levels of alcohol use were significantly associated with (1) physical/sexual and HIV-related IPV victimization by a regular partner, (2) physical/sexual, monitoring, and controlling IPV victimization by a casual partner, (3) physical/sexual, emotional, controlling, and HIV-related IPV perpetration against a regular partner, and (4) physical/sexual and emotional IPV perpetration against a casual partner.Conclusions: The association of high levels of alcohol use with different types of IPV perpetration and IPV victimization suggests a need for targeted services that address the co-occurring issues of alcohol use and IPV.
