缺乏经过充分验证的综合性伴侣虐待调查问卷一直是家庭暴力研究中的一个主要方法论问题。综合虐待量表（CAS）是一种新的多维伴侣虐待衡量标准，有四个维度：严重综合虐待、情感虐待、身体虐待和骚扰。 CAS 的开发和测试中使用了全科患者样本 (N = 1,836)。本研究中的因素分析证实了初步护士样本研究的四个维度，并得出了包含身体、情感和性虐待行为的 30 个项目的最终量表。这四个因素表现出良好的内部信度（Cronbach's alpha > 0.85），并且校正后的项目总相关性很高（> 0.5）。提出了标准和结构有效性的证据。
Absence of a well-validated comprehensive partner abuse questionnaire has been a major methodological issue in domestic violence research. A new multidimensional measure of partner abuse, the Composite Abuse Scale (CAS), has four dimensions: Severe Combined Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Physical Abuse, and Harassment. A general practice patient sample (N = 1,836) has been used in the development and testing of CAS. Factor analyses in this current study confirmed the four dimensions from a preliminary nurses sample study and resulted in a final scale of 30 items consisting of acts of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. These four factors exhibited good internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha > 0.85) and the corrected item-total correlations were high (> 0.5). Evidence of criterion and construct validity is presented.
