AORsa,b of Alcohol-Involvement Among IPV Homicide Victims in Relation to a 10% Point Increase in APS for BAC Strata, 2003–2012, NVDRS
| BAC cutoff | Overall intimate partner victimization, n=4,107 AOR (95% CI) | Primary victimization, n=2,796 AOR (95% CI) | Corollary victimization, n=1,135 AOR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAC≥0.12% | 0.77 (0.63, 0.94) | 0.79 (0.61, 1.03) | 0.61 (0.42, 0.87) |
| BAC≥0.16% | 0.84 (0.67, 1.07) | 0.84 (0.62, 1.13) | 0.67 (0.41, 1.08) |
| BAC≥0.20% | 0.86 (0.66, 1.13) | 0.92 (0.64, 1.33) | 0.58 (0.27, 1.22) |
| BAC≥0.24% | 0.88 (0.62, 1.25) | 0.96 (0.62, 1.50) | dncc |
| BAC≥0.28% | 0.95 (0.60, 1.51) | dncc | dncc |
Note: Boldface indicates statistical significance (p<0.05).
AOR was based on 10-point increase in APS score.
Adjusted GEE model IV controls for victim’s age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, mental health status, state proportions of male, age ≥21 years, racial and ethnic composition, college degree or above, household income, unemployment, police rate per capita, degree of urbanization, religiosity, year, and BAC testing rate. South Carolina and New Jersey were removed from analysis for all years due to low BAC testing rates (<30% all years) and high rates of alcohol involvement.
dnc indicates that models did not converge due to sample size limitations; therefore no results were available to report.
