Reporting of abuse and violence was extensive, with 80% of women reporting abuse or violence from a partner. Men were more likely to report experiencing violence from friends and others.

Past and current interpersonal violence is a characteristic of the lifestyles of the majority entering treatment for methamphetamine dependence.
