Objective This study aimed to test empirically whether (1) the local impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with increases in intimate partner aggression (IPA) and heavy drinking, and (2) heavy drinking moderated the association between COVID-19 stress and IPA perpetration. Method Participants were 510 individuals (approximately 50% who endorsed a sexual or gender minority identity) recruited via Qualtrics Research Services in April 2020, during the height of shelter-in-place (SiP) restrictions across the United States. They completed a questionnaire battery that included measures of COVID-19 stressors, physical and psychological IPA perpetration, and heavy drinking. Results Rates of physical and psychological IPA perpetration significantly increased after implementation of SiP restrictions which aimed to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19. COVID-19 stress was significantly and positively associated with physical and psychological IPA perpetration; however, COVID-19 stress was positively associated with physical IPA perpetration among non-heavy drinking, but not heavy drinking, participants. Conclusions Drawn from a large sample of participants of diverse sexual identities, findings tentatively implicate COVID-19 stress as a critical correlate of IPA perpetration and suggest that "low risk" individuals (i.e., non-heavy drinkers) should not be overlooked. These data provide preliminary support for the usefulness of public health polices and individual-level interventions that target stress, heavy drinking, and their antecedents.

COVID-19 大流行期间的亲密伴侣攻击：与压力和大量饮酒有关。

目标 本研究旨在通过经验检验 (1) COVID-19 大流行的局部影响是否与亲密伴侣攻击性 (IPA) 和酗酒的增加有关，以及 (2) 大量饮酒是否缓和了 COVID-19 压力和酗酒之间的关联IPA 犯罪。方法参与者是 2020 年 4 月全美居家避难 (SiP) 限制最严重期间通过 Qualtrics Research Services 招募的 510 人（约 50% 的人认同性或性别少数身份）。他们完成了一系列问卷调查，其中包括对 COVID-19 压力源、生理和心理 IPA 实施以及大量饮酒的测量。结果 在实施旨在减轻 COVID-19 传播的 SiP 限制后，身心 IPA 犯罪率显着增加。COVID-19 压力与身心 IPA 行为显着正相关；然而，COVID-19 压力与非重度饮酒参与者的身体 IPA 行为呈正相关，但不是重度饮酒参与者。结论 从大量不同性身份的参与者样本中得出的结论初步表明 COVID-19 压力是 IPA 实施的关键相关因素，并表明不应忽视“低风险”个体（即非重度饮酒者）。这些数据为针对压力的公共卫生政策和个人层面干预措施的有效性提供了初步支持，
