Abstract
The current study identified the association between substances and the perpetration and victimization of physical and psychological IPV. Due to limited data collected, the research questions were modified to specifically examine alcohol and cannabis use rather than various substances. Thus, the following questions were examined: (1) How are cannabis and alcohol use related to perpetration and victimization of physical IPV among adolescent females? and (2) How are cannabis and alcohol use related to perpetration and victimization of psychological IPV among adolescent females? These research questions were examined through four binary logistic regression models to examine the relationship between the predictors (alcohol and cannabis use) and outcomes (victimization and perpetration of physical and psychological IPV). There were no significant findings in this study to determine a relationship between substance use and physical and psychological IPV. Limitations of this study include limited reports of data and the cross-sectional nature of this study. Further research can be used to assist teachers, parents, social workers, and other professionals working or engaging with adolescents using substances and perpetrating or experiencing physical or psychological IPV.
