Regressions for IPV in Interethnic and Intra-ethnic Couples and Interethnic Couples Only

	Model 1	Model 2
	Full Sample (N = 1,417)	Interethnic Couples (N = 114)
	OR (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)
Couples’ ethnicity (ref. Interethnic couples)
White couples	0.68 (0.39, 1.17)	---
Black couples	1.30 (0.69, 2.46)	---
Hispanic couples	0.76 (0.44, 1.31)	---
Married (ref. Yes)	---	7.14 (1.72, 29.60)**
Years together	1.00 (0.97, 1.03)	---
Couples’ mean age	0.95 (0.93, 0.98)***	0.91 (0.86, 0.97)**
Male binge drinking (ref. Not in past year)
1+ times/month	1.53 (0.79, 2.94)	---
< Once a month	1.04 (0.57, 1.88)	---
Male alcohol problems (ref. None)	1.63 (0.82, 3.23)	9.89 (1.89, 51.67)**
Female binge drinking (ref. Not in past year)

< Once a month	2.22 (1.36, 3.61)**	---
Female impulsivity	---	4.11 (1.49, 11.35)**
Female childhood physical abuse (ref. No abuse)	---	2.57 (0.81, 8.11)

Notes: OR is odds ratio; CI is confidence interval; Model 1 tested interethnic couples’ risk for IPV relative to intra-ethnic couples controlling for covariates; Model 2 examined the predictors of IPV for interethnic couples only
