Alcohol Use and Mental Health as Predictors of Intimate Partner Violence from Adolescence to Young Adulthood

项目摘要 这项研究的目的是检查饮酒与糖尿病之间的双向联系。 亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）在从青春期到青年期的发展阶段，当 酒精使用和IPV峰值。此外，从青春期到青年期的发展阶段 经常带来心理健康挑战，如抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍的症状， 与酒精使用和IPV一致。因此，本研究的目的是探讨双向关联 从青春期（15岁）到青年期（26岁）的11年间， 以及抑郁症状和创伤后应激反应是否会调节饮酒与 和IPV。到目前为止，研究酒精使用和IPV之间的双向联系的研究还没有被证实。 处于这个关键的发展时期。因此，当前的提案可以提供关键的 关于时间和脆弱性因素的信息（例如，抑郁症或创伤后应激症状）， 与酒精相关的IPV预防和干预工作。此外，缺乏关于如何 饮酒与IPV之间的关系可能因出生时的性别、种族和民族而异， 尽管有证据表明，这些群体的饮酒模式和IPV不同。因此电流 一项提案将探讨酒精使用和IPV之间关系的差异， 人口特征该项目将为未来旨在设计文化肯定的IPV的研究提供信息 预防和干预方案。

Project Summary The objective of the proposed study is to examine the bidirectional associations between alcohol use and intimate partner violence (IPV) during the developmental period from adolescence to young adulthood, when both alcohol use and IPV peak. Furthermore, the developmental period from adolescence to young adulthood often brings mental health challenges, such as symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress, which can coincide with alcohol use and IPV. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the bidirectional associations between alcohol use and IPV across eleven years from adolescence (age 15) to young adulthood (age 26), and whether symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress moderate the relationship between alcohol use and IPV. To date, studies examining the bidirectional associations between alcohol use and IPV have not been situated during this critical developmental period. Therefore, the current proposal can provide critical information on timing and vulnerability factors (e.g., depression or post-traumatic stress symptoms) to inform alcohol-related IPV prevention and intervention efforts. Furthermore, research is lacking on how the relationship between alcohol use and IPV may differ as a function of sex assigned at birth, race, and ethnicity, despite some evidence that patterns of alcohol use and IPV differ amongst these groups. Thus, the current proposal will explore differences in the relationship between alcohol use and IPV as a function of intersecting demographic identities. This project will inform future research aimed at designing culturally-affirming IPV prevention and intervention programs.
