Coercion in Substance Use: A Systematic Review: OAJBS Publishers

Coercion in Substance Use: A Systematic Review by Steffi Rose Mathew* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

Background: Substance use coercion is a severe form of abuse that leads to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and sexual exploitation. It also leads to mental health problems and continuous victimization of individuals by abusive partners. Substance use coercion is a significant issue with less attention provided and can be traced as a vital factor in crimes such as sex trafficking. 
Method:
The following is a systematic review conducted as per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses (PRISMA guidelines). The databases Google Scholar and PubMed were searched on September 2020, from January 1, 2000, to August 31, 2020. The studies considered were either telephone surveys or face-to-face interviews, and the study subjects included the general population. The details were extracted from the published articles.
Findings: 4 studies and a legal case file on substance use coercion were identified and had 3207 subjects involved. The reciprocal relation between substance use coercion and IPV or sexual assault was discussed, and the results were descriptively summarized on the cumulative evidence from studies included.
Interpretation: The possibility of reduction of sexual assaults and IPV by reducing substance use coercion were identified. Counselling in schools may identify and prevent childhood abuse that pertains to sexual assaults and substance use in the future. Also, awareness related to substance use and sexual exploitation may prevent such scenarios in adolescent life.
