Violence Risk Assessment in Individuals With Substance Use Disorders

Our data confirm that respondents with alcohol dependence exhibit a higher risk of committing violence compared to respondents with other PAS dependence. Findings show that conducting risk assessment for committing violence among respondents with alcohol dependence and respondents with other PAS dependence is crucial, as both the healthcare system and outpatient services should focus on maintaining established abstinence and preventing relapse in terms of potential repeated violence-related behaviors.
