Objectives: We examined the relation between alcohol outlet density (the number of outlets per capita by zip code) and male‐to‐female partner violence (MFPV) or female‐to‐male (FMPV). also investigated whether binge drinking presence alcohol‐related problems altered relationship MFPV FMPV. Methods: linked individual couple sociodemographic behavioral data from a 1995 national population‐based sample 1,597 couples to 1990 US Census information. used logistic regression for survey estimate...
