Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration is common among men who use substances. Substance use is a contributing factor for IPV perpetration. This cross-sectional study determined lifetime prevalence and factors associated with ever perpetrating IPV by men receiving substance use treatment in Brazil (n = 281) and England (n = 223). DESIGN AND METHODS: IPV, adverse childhood experiences, attitudes towards gender relations and roles, current health state, substance use, depressive symptoms and anger expression were assessed. Logistic regression determined factors associated with ever perpetrating any (emotional, physical and/or sexual) IPV. Multinomial logistic regression determined factors associated with ever perpetrating different types of IPV. RESULTS: 74.6% (373/500) reported ever perpetrating IPV: 16.5% (82/498) emotional IPV only, 46.4% (231/498) physical IPV (with/without emotional IPV) and 11.6% (58/498) sexual IPV (with/without emotional and/or physical IPV). Higher anger expression, higher depressive symptoms, fighting physically with another man in the past year (Brazil only), experiencing a greater number of adverse childhood experiences and a higher hazardous drinking score (England only) predicted ever perpetrating IPV. Compared to never perpetrating any IPV, anger expression was associated with emotional and physical IPV perpetration; fighting physically with another man in the past year was associated with physical IPV perpetration and experiencing a greater number of adverse childhood experiences and a higher hazardous drinking score were associated with both physical and sexual IPV perpetration. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Integrated interventions that address IPV and substance use delivered in substance use treatment could improve outcomes for perpetrators and victims.[Gilchrist G, Radcliffe P, Noto AR, d'Oliveira AFPL.

  • Individuals undergoing treatment in CAPS-ad tend to be polysubstance users with a predominance of alcohol consumption and a high prevalence of experiencing and committing violence, representing a population with great social vulnerability and disadvantaged socioeconomic conditions.

    “They tend to be polysubstance users, with a predominance of alcohol consumption, and a high prevalence of experiencing and committing violence, thus representing a population with great social vulnerability and disadvantaged socioeconomic conditions (19–23).”

  • The majority of individuals undergoing treatment in CAPS-ad are adult men of mixed and black ethnicity, typically unemployed, single, with only primary education and low family income.

    “The majority of individuals undergoing treatment in these services are adult men of mixed and black ethnicity, who are typically unemployed, single, with only primary education and a low family income.”

    From A mindfulness-based intervention for Substance Use Disorder in a Brazilian vulnerable population: a feasibility mixed method study (2024) · cites this paper as [21]

    The Procedure and Results sections (pages unavailable) describe adult men receiving outpatient substance-use treatment in São Paulo and report that only 37.5% of the combined Brazil–England sample were married or had a partner. The Results also say Brazilian participants were more likely than English participants to have no or only primary schooling, but do not establish that this was true of a majority. Our copy does not substantiate the claimed mixed and black ethnicities or low family income, and its unemployment comparison concerns England rather than a typical CAPS-ad patient. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
