这项研究比较了具有相当代表性的美国陆军 (N = 33,762) 和民用 (N = 3,044) 样本的患病率。通过根据 1990 年美国人口普查中已婚全职雇员的特征对每个样本进行加权来控制年龄和种族。男性对配偶间中度攻击行为的报告并没有显着较高，但在标准化陆军样本中，严重攻击行为的报告明显高于可比较的平民样本（调整后的比率分别为 2.5% 和 0.7%）。因此，控制年龄和种族会导致相当相似的患病率。未来的研究需要更仔细地控制军人和平民受访者的背景差异，才能辨别服兵役是否会增加伴侣暴力的风险。
This study compared prevalence rates from reasonably representative U.S. Army (N = 33,762) and civilian (N = 3,044) samples. Age and race were controlled by weighting each sample to 1990 U.S. Census characteristics for married, full-time employed persons. Men's reports of moderate husband-to-wife spousal aggression were not significantly higher, but reports of severe aggression were significantly higher in the standardized Army sample than in the comparable civilian sample (adjusted rates of 2.5% vs. 0.7%, respectively). Thus, controlling for age and race results in reasonably similar prevalence rates. Future studies that more carefully control for any background differences in military and civilian respondents could discern whether military service adds any increased risk for partner violence.
