To Examine the Relationship and Strength of Alcohol- Related Intimate Partner Violence in Sub-Saharan Africa (LOJNHC) - Lupinepublishers
Alcohol-related intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public
health issue which has attracted a lot of research and debates. While
some studies have reported the relationship between alcohol and IPV to
be linear, others have reported threshold effects. While some studies
have found the link to be strong, others have reported weak or no
association. Using Logistic regression and meta-analysis, the
relationship, strength of relationship and possible moderators of the
alcohol-IPV link are investigated in ten sub- Saharan African countries.
The results indicates that while alcohol consumption is associated with
IPV in three of the countries, alcohol abuse was associated with IPV in
the other seven countries lending support for both the linear and
threshold effects in sub- Saharan Africa. The meta-analysis showed a
strong association between alcohol and physical IPV while a weaker
association was observed for the alcohol-sexual IPV link.
