To Examine the Relationship and Strength of Alcohol Related Intimate Partner Violence in Sub-Saharan Africa by Ekpenyong MS in Lupine Online Journal of Nursing & Health Care in Lupine Publishers

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 subSaharan 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 SaharanAfrica. The meta-analysis showed a strong association between alcohol and physical IPV while a weaker association was observed for the alcohol-sexual IPV link. Moderator analysis showed that the strength of the alcohol-IPV link in sub-Saharan Africa varies with wealth index, marital length, and marital status, and jealousy, place of residence and justification of the use of violence.The nature of moderation was different between countries. The results of this study can be applied to plan country specific and multi-faceted intervention programs.
