背景青少年约会暴力是一个公共卫生问题。公共卫生的预防方法是确定问题行为的预测因素，并制定干预措施，以消除或减少这些预测因素，目的是改变因果关系链。纵向数据是确定行为预测因素的首选，但所有的约会暴力研究都使用了横截面数据。我们使用纵向数据来研究青少年约会暴力的预测因素，从几个领域的指导下，生态perspection.Methods。80%（N = 1，965）的一个县的八年级和九年级学生在学校完成了基线问卷，90%（N = 1，759）的青少年在1年半后再次完成问卷。比例优势模型用于确定基线和随访之间发生的约会暴力犯罪的横截面相关性和纵向预测因素。在横断面分析中，大多数研究变量与约会暴力相关。有朋友谁是约会暴力的受害者，使用酒精，并正在一个种族以外的其他白色预测约会：暴力犯罪的女性。对约会暴力持接受态度的男性对约会暴力的发生有预测作用。研究结果表明，干预策略应针对男性和女性而有所不同，并且当基于横截面研究结果进行干预时，稀缺的资源可能会被用于解决那些可能不会真正开始实施约会暴力的人（C）2001年美国健康基金会和学术出版社。
Background. Adolescent dating violence is a public health problem. The public health approach to prevention is to identify predictors of problem behaviors and develop interventions to eliminate or reduce those predictors with the intention of altering the chain of causation. Longitudinal data are preferred for identifying predictors of behavior but all dating violence studies have used cross-sectional data. We use longitudinal data to examine predictors of adolescent dating violence from several domains guided by an ecological perspective.Methods. Eighty percent(N = 1,965) of the 8th- and 9th-graders in one county completed baseline questionnaires in school and 90% (N = 1,759) of those adolescents completed questionnaires again 1 1/2 years later Proportional odds models were used to identify cross-sectional correlates and longitudinal predictors of dating violence perpetration that occurred between baseline and follow-up.Results. Most of the study variables were correlated with dating violence in cross-sectional anlayses. Having friends who are victims of dating violence, using alcohol, and being of a race other than white predicted dating: violence perpetration by females. Holding attitudes that are accepting of dating violence predicted dating violence perpetration by males.Conclusion. The findings suggest that intervention strategies should vary for males and females and that when basing interventions on cross-sectional findings, scarce resources may be stretched to address persons who mag not truly be at risk of beginning to perpetrate dating violence (C) 2001 American Health Foundation and Academic Press.
