History Of

In the United States, a substantial proportion of the adult population (36% of women and 34% of men) from all socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds report experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) over the life course. Family risk factors have been linked to adolescent and young adult IPV involvement, yet few studies have examined the effect of multiple, co-occurring adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in the stability and change of IPV behaviors over young adulthood—the period of highest risk for IPV. We investigated the relationship between the degree of ACE exposure and IPV victimization and perpetration at age 22 and two years later at age 24 among a sample of Hispanic young adults ( N= 1,273) in Southern California. Negative binomial regression models compared the incident rate ratio (IRR) of past-year verbal and physical IPV victimization and perpetration of respondents with 1–3 ACE and with ≥4 ACE to their peers who reported no history of ACE cross-sectionally (age 22) and longitudinally (age 24). At age 22, participants with 1–3 and ≥4 ACE were overrepresented in all IPV behaviors and had higher IRRs of verbal and physical victimization and perpetration compared to their peers with no ACE. By age 24, respondents with a history of ≥4 ACE were at significantly greater risk for escalating IPV behaviors over this time period than their peers with 1–3 ACE and no ACE. These findings highlight the importance of investing in coordinated efforts to develop strategies that help young people cope with the downstream effects of early life adversity. Research should continue to identify what individual, community, and cultural assets that promote resilience and are promising foci of IPV prevention approaches among vulnerable populations.

Ipv Perpetration

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social and public health problem in the United States. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and alcohol use have been found to be associated with IPV perpetration; however, limited studies have examined the interrelationships of these variables among Black men. This is the first known study to systematically review and synthesize studies on the interrelationships of ACEs, alcohol use, and IPV perpetration among Black men. Comprehensive literature searches were conducted in PubMed and six EBSCOhost databases by a research librarian and two researchers. Twenty studies met inclusion criteria: empirical; available in English; included ACEs, alcohol use/substance abuse, and IPV perpetration variables in the analyses; and samples included Black/African American male IPV perpetrators aged ≥ 18 years. ACEs were found to be associated with IPV perpetration among Black men, but findings were mixed regarding the role of alcohol in relation to ACEs and IPV. Numerous ACE factors (1–6) were used across studies. However, findings regarding the co-occurrence of ACE factors are inconclusive because none of the studies examined the cumulative effects of exposure to more than one type of ACE on subsequent IPV perpetration. Implications for policy, practice, and research related to the interrelationships of ACEs, alcohol use, and IPV perpetration are provided. Future work is needed to better explicate the interrelationships among these constructs.

Abstract Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are associated with a range of negative behavioral health outcomes in adulthood. Those with ACEs may use alcohol as a component of long-term coping, increasing risk of alcohol-impaired driving. Associations between ACEs and alcohol-impaired driving are relatively understudied. Using the 2012/2013 data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), logistic regression models examined the relationship between five types of ACEs (e.g. child abuse and neglect) and lifetime alcohol-impaired driving among a representative sample of American adults aged between 18 to 90 years (N = 36,309). ACEs were positively associated with lifetime alcohol-impaired driving for adults under age 50 (witnessed intimate partner violence (OR = 1.624, p < 0.001), physical abuse (OR = 1.723, p < 0.001), sexual abuse (OR = 1.651, p < 0.001), physical neglect (OR = 1.571, p < 0.001), and emotional neglect, (P > 0.05). We found similar positive associations between ACEs and impaired driving among adults aged 50 and over (witnessed intimate partner violence (OR = 1.398, p < 0.05), physical abuse (OR = 1.751, p < 0.001), sexual abuse (OR = 1.690, p < 0.001), physical neglect (OR = 1.455, p < 0.001), and emotional neglect, p > 0.05). Among adults under age 50, ACEs were associated with past-year alcohol-impaired driving, but this relationship was not seen in adults aged 50 and over. Findings suggest that the effect of ACEs on alcohol-impaired driving is in younger adulthood when alcohol use and driving occur most.
