  1. Note: OR Odds Ratio; 95% CI 95% Confidence Interval; Correlations were run using logistic regression. Correlations between emotional and physical IPV cannot be calculated because physical IPV always co-occurred with emotional IPV. Correlations with alcohol use are separated by level of alcohol use (harmful/hazardous and low risk) according to the AUDIT risk level classifications
