Emotion Regulation in the Association Between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Use
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use commonly co-occur and represent a unique clinical challenge. Current interventions show modest effect sizes and high rates of dropout highlighting the need to better understand the mechanisms underlying the PTSD-substance use association. Evidence suggests emotion regulation may be an important factor underlying this association. This systematic review aims to examine the role of emotion regu…
Methodological Challenges in Determining the Effectiveness of Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrator Programmes
Previous reviews of the effectiveness of intimate partner violence (IPV) programmes have shown mixed results. A systematic review with narrative synthesis was conducted to understand the methodological challenges in determining the effectiveness of IPV perpetrator programmes. A two-stage search strategy was employed. Firstly, a systematic search was conducted across six electronic databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Global Health, ASSIA, and We…
Optimal provision of opioid agonist therapy (OAT) and needle and syringe programmes (NSP)
These findings show how interacting relational and structural mechanisms generate optimal outcomes, guiding policy and service design. Implementing a multi-agency approach, integrating different mechanisms across the identified contexts, may be necessary to achieve optimal service delivery
A clarion call to the addiction science community
Understanding the Intersection Between Men’s Alcohol Use, Masculinity and Perpetration of Intimate Partner Violence
Male-to-female intimate partner violence (MFIPV) is a pervasive issue, with alcohol use and masculine norm endorsement identified as risk factors. However, research on how these two factors intersect with MFIPV perpetration is scarce. This review aims to understand if and how male alcohol use and masculinity intersect with MFIPV perpetration. A systematic search of Medline, PsycINFO, CINHAL, Global Health, and Web of Science was conducted. Papers…
Consent and violence amongst men in the context of sexualised drug use
Sexualised drug use (SDU) is a highly prevalent phenomenon of increasing public health significance in communities of men who have sex with men (MSM). This prospectively registered PRISMA-ScR-adherent systematic scoping review examines the current state of knowledge surrounding violence amongst MSM in the context of SDU. A broad search was conducted across four databases, with no restrictions. Studies citing or cited by all database-identified re…
Adapting the Advance group program for digitally-supported delivery to reduce intimate partner violence by men in substance use treatment
The digitally-supported delivery of ADVANCE-D was feasible and acceptable. Remote delivery has applicability post-pandemic, providing greater flexibility and access. Given the small sample size and study design, we do not know if reductions in IPV were due to ADVANCE-D, time, participant factors, or chance. More research is needed before conclusions can be made about the efficacy of ADVANCE-D
Integrated Motivational Strategies for Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators with Substance Use
Objective: Intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators with alcohol and/or other drug use problems (ADUPs) have been identified as one of the main high-risk and highly resistant groups of perpetrators requiring special attention in intervention programs for IPV perpetrators. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to evaluate whether an individualized motivational plan adjusted to ADUPs (IMP-ADUPs) was superior to standard motivational stra…
Experience and perpetration of intimate partner violence and abuse by gender of respondent and their current partner before and during Covid-19 restrictions in 2020
This study confirmed that IPVA can occur in all intimate relationships, regardless of gender of the perpetrator or survivor. Non-binary respondents or respondents with non-binary partners reported the highest use and experience of IPVA. Most IPVA victim support services have been designed for heterosexual, cisgender women. IPVA support services and perpetrator programmes must be tailored to support all perpetrators and survivors during the pandem…
Can alcohol policy prevent harms to women and children from men's alcohol consumption? An overview of existing literature and suggested ways forward
Trajectories of intimate partner violence (IPV) in a primary care cohort of women with depressive symptoms
Aims: To assess trajectories of women’s experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) over time, and baseline risk factors and associated four-year outcomes for different trajectories. Design: A cohort study of 548 women with depressive symptoms, attending primary care appointments, were surveyed annually for four years. Secondary analysis was undertaken using growth mixture modelling to generate IPV trajectories. Analyses of associations of thes…
Impacts of changes in alcohol consumption patterns during the first 2020 Covid-19 restrictions for people with and without mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions
Substance Use and Intimate Partner Abuse (IPA)
Intimate partner abuse (IPA) is a pervasive public health and human rights issue disproportionately affecting women. There is a complex link between IPA and substance use; substance use can increase both the frequency and severity of IPA. Pathway models have been applied to explore heterogeneous trajectories into other behaviours and to identify areas for intervention. This approach has not previously been applied in the area of substance use and…
Interventions to Reduce Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration by Men Who Use Substances
Advance integrated group intervention to address both substance use and intimate partner abuse perpetration by men in substance use treatment
ISRCTN79435190 prospectively registered 22nd May 2018
Comparing Transgender and Cisgender Experiences of Being Taken Advantage of Sexually While Under the Influence of Alcohol and/or Other Drugs
A small body of literature suggests that transgender people are more frequently exposed to sexual violence while they are under the influence of alcohol than cisgender counterparts. The goal of this study was to report any differences between transgender (n = 1,136) and cisgender (n = 74,277) respondents to the Global Drug Survey on their experiences of being taken advantage of sexually while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs. We …
The Challenges of Conducting Qualitative Research on "couples" in Abusive Intimate Partner Relationships Involving Substance Use
Undertaking qualitative dyad or couple interviews involving intimate partner abuse and substance use presents considerable ethical, safeguarding, and theoretical challenges throughout the research process from recruitment to conducting interviews and analysis. These challenges and how they were managed are outlined using the experience from a qualitative study of 14 heterosexual "couples" that explored the complex interplay between intimate partn…
Consommation d’alcool et d’autres produits psychoactifs pendant la pandémie de Covid-19 dans la Global Drug Survey
La Global Drug Survey est une enquête en ligne visant à étudier l’expérience des usagers de drogues en population générale, menée chaque année entre novembre et décembre. Ce volet spécial Covid-19 a été réalisé sur sept semaines, de mai à juin 2020. L’enquête avait comme objectif d’explorer de manière rétrospective l’impact du confinement et des premières semaines du déconfinement sur les consommations de produits psychoactifs en population génér…
We have to put the fire out first before we start rebuilding the house”
Introduction and aims : The high prevalence of women experiencing co-occurring substance use, interpersonal abuse, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has led to international calls for trauma-specific substance use treatments and wider trauma-informed practice. The aim of this study was to explore how services in England have developed practice responses with limited historical precedence for this work. Design and Methods: A pu…
The interplay between substance use and intimate partner violence perpetration
The interplay between substance use and IPV perpetration occurs at numerous contextual levels and is perceived differently by perpetrators and survivors. Behaviour change interventions must address the meanings behind divergent narratives about IPV perpetration and substance use
The Dynamics of Domestic Abuse and Drug and Alcohol Dependency
This article elucidates the dynamics that occur in relationships where there have been both substance use and domestic abuse. It draws interpretively on in-depth qualitative interviews with male perpetrators and their current and former partners. These interviews were undertaken for the National Institute for Health Research-funded ADVANCE programme. The article’s analysis highlights the diverse ways in which domestic abuse by substance-using mal…
You can never work with addictions in isolation”
There are gaps and contradictions in the extent to which English drug and alcohol policy has sought to address IPV-perpetration among substance misusers. Recent National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance provide an opportunity to include domestic abuse training for all front line social care staff including in the substance misuse sector. There is a need for further research into effective services for substance misusing perpetrat…
Psychiatric, Behavioural and Social Risk Factors for HIV Infection Among Female Drug Users
Behavioural and Lifestyle Study of Women Using a Drop-In Centre for Female Street Sex Workers in Glasgow, Scotland
The study compared street sex workers' working patterns, sexual behaviour, drug use, and knowledge of HIV and Hepatitis C, in 1999 (114 women) to those in 1989 (63 women) among women who used a Drop-in Centre (DIC) for female sex workers in Glasgow's “red light district”. The vast majority of prostitutes in both cohorts were drug users, although a significantly greater proportion of women in 1999 used drugs (95%) than in 1989 (83%). It appears th…
