Abstract |
A survey was conducted with 400 male and female college students to examine the relationships among intimate partner violence (IPV), alcohol and other drug use, and health-compromising behaviors. The results indicated that IPV was directly related to alcohol use. The results further indicated that alcohol and drug use are directly and IPV is indirectly associated with risky sexual behaviors. Victimized male and female students had higher rates of alcohol and drug use and other health-compromising behaviors compared to nonvictimized male and female students. Implications are suggested for collegiate prevention programs. |
