Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with an elevated risk of substance use, but few studies have simultaneously examined other aspects of victimization history that may contribute to substance use. The current study examined the direct and moderating effects of childhood polyvictimization (i.e., multiple experiences of violence victimization before age 18) on the association between IPV subtypes (physical, sexual, psychological, and injury) and alcohol/drug use. A sample of 256 college students ages 18-25 (72% female, 68% white) completed a survey assessing past-year IPV, childhood polyvictimization, and past three-month substance use. There were no direct or joint associations between IPV, childhood polyvictimization, and alcohol use. There were direct associations between psychological IPV, childhood polyvictimization, and drug use. No other forms of IPV were significantly associated with drug use. Results highlight unique direct associations between violence victimization and drug use risk compared to alcohol use risk in this context.

Article Synopsis
- - Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in East Asia, particularly among Chinese college students, are linked to increased risks of psychological issues and addiction in adulthood.
- - A study of 13,307 college students identified four patterns of ACEs, with the most common being "left-behind" experiences, which were associated with varying degrees of depression, life satisfaction, and short-form video addiction.
- - The research highlights that students with more severe ACEs, such as exposure to violence and neglect, face greater mental health challenges compared to those with less severe experiences like parental absence.

Indeed, children tend to feel ashamed, scared or in denial, leading to difficulties for law enforcement when gathering information, and subsequently with prosecuting offenders. Moreover, with crimes against children increasing, it is common for interviewed victims to have experienced several abuses (poly-victimization).
