RESUMEN
Se ha estudiado la posible relación entre el consumo de alcohol y la violencia ejercida por el hombre hacia la mujer con la que mantiene o ha mantenido relación sentimental, en una muestra de 50 parejas analizadas en la Unidad de Valoración Integral de Violencia de Género (UVIVG) de Sevilla, a lo largo de los años 2013 y 2014. Para ello se ha empleado una entrevista estructurada creada ad hoc, así como los cuestionarios MINI, MALT y CAGE. De las 50 parejas, en 25, las mujeres que denunciaron afirmaban que sus parejas eran consumidoras de alcohol y en ocasiones de otras sustancias de adicción, diagnosticándose tal consumo únicamente en 16 de estos hombres; la otra mitad de la muestra negaba el consumo de sustancias de adicción en sus parejas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los hombres que consumen alcohol ejercen violencia hacia su pareja en mayor proporción en estado sobrio que en estado ebrio. No obstante, el consumo de alcohol supone un incremento añadido en la frecuencia de la violencia ejercida. Igualmente, los resultados del estudio ponen de manifiesto que los hombres que no consumen alcohol ejercen violencia en menor porcentaje que los que sí lo hacen (AU)
ABSTRACT
This article examines the possible relation between alcohol consumption and violence of men towards women with whom they share or have shared a relationship. Our sample is composed of 50 couples analyzed under the Comprehensive Assessment of Gender Violence Unit (UVIVG) of Seville (Spain), during 2013 and 2014. It has been used an structured interview which has been created ad hoc, as well as the MINI, MALT and CAGE questionnaires. In 25 of the 50 analyzed couples, the woman, who had denounced, declared that her partner consumed alcohol and that he often consumed other substances of abuse. Nevertheless, this consumption was only diagnosed in 16 of those men. The women of the other half of the sample denied any consumption of substances of abuse by their partners. The results obtained from the analyzed sample shows that men who consume alcohol are more violent towards their partners when they are sober, than when they are drunk. However, the alcohol consumption increases the frequency of violent actions. Moreover, the results of the analysis reveal that men who do not consume alcohol resort to violence in a lower percentage than those who consume alcohol (AU)
