Alcohol and policy interventions to reduce intimate partner violence: a review

Ingrid M Wilson, Kathryn Graham, Angela Taft

Abstract

Background

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant global public health issue. The consistent evidence that alcohol use by one or both partners contributes to the frequency and severity of IPV suggests the potential for indirect interventions that reduce alcohol consumption to also reduce IPV. This study sought to review the evidence for effects on intimate partner violence (IPV) of alcohol intervention at the population, community and individual levels using the World Health Organization ecological framework for violence.
