OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated a sample of @entity341 ( @entity341 ) @entity1 for history of violence and @entity734 . METHODS: Injured @entity1 (n = 320) completed questionnaires (14% refusal rate) during a visit to a Level 1 urban @entity341 after an acute injury. Specific questions were asked regarding whether the injury was related to acute violence (AV), whether there was past-year violence history (VH), including violence victimization and perpetration in both partner and nonpartner relationships, as well as any substance use in the past month and any substance-related consequences in the past year. RESULTS: Fourteen percent of the @entity1 presented with an AV-related injury, and 53% reported VH. Most AV @entity1 (89%) reported VH. No significant differences were found between the @entity1 with AV and VH in demographic, substance use, or substance-related consequences. The AV and VH groups were combined (V), with analyses comparing these @entity1 with those without AV and VH. @entity1 were significantly more likely than @entity1 to report V (odds ratio = 2.0). V was significantly related to substance use and substance-related consequences. For example, in comparison with the @entity1 reporting no @entity167 or drug use, those reporting illicit drug use were 6.2 times as likely to report V, and those drinking any @entity167 only were 2.0 times as likely to report V. CONCLUSIONS: A large percentage of injured @entity1 in this urban @entity341 experienced violence in the past year. @entity167 and illicit drugs appear to be concomitant with violence.
