To Examine the Relationship and Strength of Alcohol-Related Intimate Partner Violence in sub-Saharan Africa by Ekpenyong MS in Research and Reviews on Healthcare: Open Access Journal (RRHOAJ)- 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 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 alcoholsexualIPV 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.
