Summary
A randomized control trial that examined the associations between probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), heavy drinking, marijuana use, cocaine use, and partner and non-partner perpetration was conducted. Over 800 substance using Veterans responded to a survey assessing physical and injury aggression, as well as past-month substance use, probable PTSD, and probable depression. Results suggest that there are some associations between violence perpetration and Veterans with probable PTSD.
