The risk of violent victimisation among people who use methamphetamine is comparatively underexplored. People who use methamphetamine appear to be at a high risk of violent victimisation, but no studies have examined this association in a population\u2010based representative survey. The aim of the current study was to examine the association between methamphetamine use and violent victimisation using a nationally representative sample of Australians.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Observational study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Australia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>18\u2009805 individuals aged 15\u2009years or over.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measurements<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Outcome variable: whether a respondent reported having been a victim of violence in the past 12\u2009months. Exposure variable: frequency of methamphetamine use in the past 12\u2009months (no use, every few months, monthly or more often). Co\u2010variates: age, gender, financial stress, personal stress, long\u2010term health condition, social isolation, cocaine use, drinking consumption, remoteness of area and survey year.

After adjusting for covariates, the odds of being a victim of violence in the preceding 12\u2009months were higher for those who used methamphetamine every few months [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 5.94; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.95\u201318.06], and once a month or more often (aOR = 9.04; 95% CI = 3.48\u201323.45) than for those who had not used methamphetamine in the past year. Predicted probabilities indicated an estimated 11\u2009709 (95% CI = 9473\u201313\u2009953) excess violent victimisations attributable to methamphetamine use.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Methamphetamine use appears to be associated with an elevated risk of being a victim of violence.
