A Latent Profile Analysis of Aggression and Victimization Across Relationship Types Among Veterans Who Use Substances

To provide effective violence prevention services for Veterans post-deployment, it is important to understand the nature of violence experienced by Veterans. This study investigated the patterns and forms of violence experienced by Veterans with both intimate partners and non-intimate partners. Using a sample of 839 Veterans who participated in a randomized control trial, findings indicated that a large majority of participants reported engagement in some form of violence and a majority of these incidents occurred with non-intimate partners.
