Study on Alcohol, PTSD, and Intimate Partner Aggression in Couples
This study is looking into how alcohol misuse and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) together might lead to intimate partner aggression (violence between partners). Researchers will have participants complete an alcohol administration paradigm, meaning you will be given alcohol to reach a specific breath alcohol level. The study aims to enroll 140 participants who are 21 years or older, report at least two heavy drinking episodes in the past month, and meet other inclusion criteria. The main goals are to measure intimate partner aggression in a lab setting after 2 hours and in everyday life over 28 days. The current status of this study is unclear.
