Alcohol Abuse, Reproductive Coercion and Intimate Partner Violence: Case Reports and Mini-Review
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical & Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This article presents a continuation of report series on alcohol abuse, reproductive coercion and intimate partner violence. The abortion rate in the former Soviet Union has been the highest in the world, caused not only by the insufficient availability of modern contraception but also by irresponsible behaviour. The overconsumption of alcohol is generally perceived as a contributing factor. Currently, there is an improvement tendency. The social background of certain behavioural stereotypes such as reproductive coercion and binge drinking are discussed. The conclusion is that use of condoms is dependent on personal traits and the level of social development; however, alcohol consumption at sexual encounters and heavy binge drinking are risk factors for the non-use of condoms and other irresponsible behaviours.
