Summary

This webinar replay presents the APréVio study, a prospective multicenter study conducted in 13 addiction care centers in Occitanie, France, involving 4,000 patients. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of violence (experienced or perpetrated) among patients seeking addiction treatment, and to identify factors associated with a request for specific violence-related help. Key findings include a high prevalence of violence (over 50% for most substances), with psychological violence being the most common. Women reported more violence than men, and sexual violence was significantly more frequent among women. The study also found that a significant proportion of patients (about 1 in 4) would like specific help for violence. The speakers discuss the bidirectional relationship between addiction and violence, the need for systematic screening, and the development of specialized care pathways. They also mention the creation of a research group on addiction and violence, and future plans for qualitative studies and training for healthcare providers.

The argumentation is solid, based on a well-designed prospective study with a large sample. The speakers acknowledge limitations, such as the lack of a control group and the potential for selection bias. They also discuss the implications for clinical practice and public health, emphasizing the need for systematic screening and specialized care.
