This research report analyses how domestic violence and abuse is more likely than not to occur within intimate partner relationships where one partner has a problem with alcohol or drugs. The aims of this research project were:
- To explore the views and perspectives of family members of substance users on the relationship between alcohol, drugs and domestic abuse.
- To develop practice and policy recommendations based on these findings and the wider literature.
- To establish what support and resources family members need on these issues.
