Experiencing intimate partner violence is associated with future substance use in LGBTQIA+ people

What Did We Do?
Our team looked at data from more than 3,700 LGBTQIA+ participants in The PRIDE Study to examine how experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV)— emotional, physical, and/or sexual harm by one romantic partner against another— may affect future substance use. We looked at participants’ experiences of IPV in 2021 and their substance use patterns in 2022.
What did we learn?
• 25% of participants reported IPV in the past year
• Those who experienced IPV were more likely to use substances the next year.
• PV was associated with higher use of cannabis, stimulants, hallucinogens, and opioids, but the association between IPV and cannabis use was the strongest.
• Emotional and physical IPV were associated with future substance use, but sexual IPV was not.
