Interpersonal Violence and Alcohol
Course Description:
This course is based upon material published in the Archives of Disorders in Children and is available as an open access article.
ABSTRACT
Interpersonal violence and harmful and hazardous alcohol use are major challenges to global public health. Both place large burdens on the health of populations, the cohesion of communities and the provision of public services including health care and criminal justice. Globally, alcohol is responsible for 4 percent of all years of health lost through premature death or disability. Through homicide, interpersonal violence results in around 520 000 deaths per year. For every death resulting from interpersonal violence, scores of further victims require hospital treatment and many more remain untreated and unrecorded by either health or criminal justice agencies. Although levels of alcohol consumption, patterns of drinking and rates of interpersonal violence vary widely between countries, across all cultures there are strong links between the two. Each exacerbates the effects of the other with a strong association between alcohol consumption and an individual’s risk of being either a perpetrator or a victim of violence.
This course on alcohol, interpersonal violence and cultural differences is designed for substance abuse counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, and professional counselors who do clinical work. This course is appropriate for beginning, intermediate and advanced level practitioners who wish to develop their understanding of cultural differences and interpersonal violence. It may also be useful for licensed clinicians who require cross cultural or substance abuse continuing education courses for license renewal.
The course is based on a journal article which includes research. As such it contains statistical analysis and data which some clinicians enjoy reading and others do not. One of the benefits of reading research based articles for continuing education is that it allows the practitioner to keep current on the latest findings in their field.
