Summary

This trial will look at how PTSD & alcohol misuse can lead to intimate partner violence. It will assess 70 couples in a controlled setting over 28 days to better understand the combined effects of these factors.

What is being tested?
The study investigates the impact of alcohol misuse and PTSD on intimate partner violence (IPV) among couples. It involves controlled lab assessments and a 28-day real-world evaluation using ecological momentary assessment (EMA).
