Prevalence of the Victimization and the Perpetration of Intimate Partner Violence Among the Patients From Puy-de-Dôme and Paris Consulting or Being Hospitalized for Addiction Problems and Their Expectations From General Practitioners (VIA-MG)

Intimate partner violence and addictions are two frequent problematics with many consequences on health. A link between intimate partner violence and addictions has been found in many studies. Being a drug user increases the risk to be a perpetrator and also a victim of intimate partner violence.

So, it is legitimate to question ourselves about the prevalence of the victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence among the patients consulting or being hospitalized for an addiction problem. We believe that this prevalence will be high among these patients.

On the other hand, the general practitioners are in first line receiving victims and perpetrators of violence and patients with addiction problems. So it is important to know the profiles of these patients and their expectations from their general practitioners.

About this study

The different places where the study will take place are:

  • 7 outpatient addiction centers: Addictology consultations in CHU Clermont-Ferrand, CH Sainte-Marie, CH Thiers, CH Ambert, ANPAA (Association Nationale de Prévention en Alcoologie et en Addictologie) of Clermont-Ferrand, Thiers and Ambert.
  • 3 hospital addiction centers: Addictology hospital services of CHU of Clermont-Ferrand, CH Thiers and Clémentel.

This study will be based on the filling of self-answered questionnaires by the patients consulting or being hospitalized in the different recruited centers. The questionnaire will be proposed to the patient after the consultation with the practitioner. An information about the study and the anonymity will be given to the patient. The filled questionnaire will be put by the patient in a closed envelope and then in a collection box located in the waiting room.

The different boxes of the different centers will be checked regularly and then the questionnaires will be analysed. The analysis of these questionnaires will allow to describe the population consulting or being hospitalized for addiction problems in the Puy-de-Dôme: age, gender, type of the addiction, the presence of intimate partner violence, associated factors of the violence, recourse characteristics to general practitioners and expectations of GP. We will evaluate the prevalence of victimization and perpetration of intimate partner violence among patients consulting or being hospitalized for addiction problems in the Puy-de-Dôme.

We estimate the duration of the study at around 6 months.
