This is a new publication on intimate partner violence and alcohol. No society is immune from intimate partner violence.

This supplemental of AIDS and Behavior is a collection of

Bei diesen handelt es sich nicht um zwei völlig unterschiedliche Strategien, sondern um sich ergänzende und gegenseitig bedingende Massnahmen. […].” |

Although the content of alcohol advertisements is restricted, Gerard Hastings and colleagues find that advertisers are still managing to appeal to young people and promote drinking.
