EV0098 E-PosterAddictionCross-sectional study # Gender differences in intimate partner violence among patients seeking treatment for opioid dependence and their spouses: A comparative dyadic study from North India GENDER DIFFERENCES IN INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AMONG PATIENTS SEEKING TREATMENT FOR OPIOID DEPENDENCE AND THEIR SPOUSES: A COMPARATIVE DYADIC STUDY FROM NORTH INDIA Presenter: Deepali Negi Country: India Institution: All India Institute of Medical Sciences New Delhi In the context of opioid use disorder, intimate partner violence is distinctly gendered and unidirectional; women, whether patients or spouses, bear a disproportionate burden of physical, sexual, and emotional violence. The aim was to compare the prevalence and patterns of physical, sexual, and emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) among women and men receiving treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) and their spouses. Using a cross-sectional, comparative dyadic design, the study examined 60 married couples, comprising 30 male and 30 female index patients with opioid dependence and their spouses (N = 120). IPV was assessed using the Severity of Violence Against Women/Men Scales (SVAWS) for physical and sexual violence and the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse (MMEA) for emotional abuse. Sixty percent of women reported experiencing physical violence, more than three times the rate among men (18.3%) (chi-square = 21.86; p < 0.001). The prevalence of any physical violence was 63.3% among female patients versus 16.7% among male patients (chi-square = 13.61; p < 0.001), and 56.7% among female spouses versus 20.0% among male spouses (chi-square = 8.08; p = 0.004). Regarding the burden of abuse experienced by spouses, median SVAW total and MMEA total scores were 58 and 33, respectively, among female spouses, compared with 46 and 5.5 among male spouses (Mann–Whitney U, p < 0.001). In conclusion, the authors emphasize the urgent need for gender-sensitive, dyadic IPV screening integrated into addiction treatment services in India.
