abstract="This study surveyed consecutive injured patients (n = 320) in an urban emergency department (ED) regarding past year violence, substance use, and depression. Victimization and aggression variables (none = N, partner only = P, non-partner only = NP, and generalized/both partner and non-partner = G) were compared on gender, depression, and substance use/consequences. Findings were similar for victimization and aggression variables. Depression was significantly related to violence for women but not for men; women in the P group reported the most depression. Substance variables were significantly related to violence by gender groups. Men in NP and G groups reported the most binge drinking; men in the G group reported the most consequences and drug use. Women in P and G groups reported the most binge drinking and consequences; women in the P group reported the most drug use. Screening urban ED patients for violence is warranted, with interventions addressing both partner and non-partner violence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
