"* Heavy drinking has consistently been linked to an increased risk of intimate partner violence (IPV).
* New findings indicate that drinking patterns as well as neighbourhood characteristics can influence IPV.
* While specific effects differ by gender; women who are the heaviest drinkers are at elevated risk for mutual IPV despite the context of their neighbourhood.
While heavy drinking has consistently been linked to an increased risk of intimate partner violence (IPV), a new study has found that both drinking patterns and neighbourhood characteristics can contribute in different ways to mutual IPV among married/cohabiting adults in the general population."
