N2 - Purpose: This systematic literature review sought to understand what research exists on co-occurring substance use and intimate partner violence (IPV) in pregnant and postpartum women. Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) process, we searched PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science Core Collection and the Cochrane Library and Database to identify research on women who were pregnant and up to one-year postpartum, diagnosed with and/or in treatment for a substance use disorder, and evaluated for experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) in adulthood as a part of the study. We also sought to identify what studies, if any, had specifically evaluated IPV experiences among pregnant and postpartum women diagnosed with and/or in treatment for opioid use disorder. Search terms included, but were not limited to, “pregnant and postpartum women,” “intimate partner violence,” and “substance” and/or “alcohol use” and/or “treatment.” Studies were included if they were published in peer-reviewed journals, utilized primary data collection or secondary data analysis, and were not systematic literature reviews. Results: One-hundred and three articles were selected for full text review, of which 10 studies (total N = 1222) were selected for synthesis. Most (N = 9) were descriptive, cross-sectional studies. Few clearly documented participants’ pregnancy status, substance use and/or IPV history as a part of the study design. Conclusion: We conclude that there is a continued need for studies which seek specifically to include an analysis of substance use disorders among pregnant and postpartum women experiencing IPV, with a particular need for studies which place opioid use disorder as a central focus. Studies which measure long-term outcomes related to substance use, maternal and child health, and IPV post treatment/intervention among this population are also needed.
