危险评估 (DA) 是一种旨在评估亲密伴侣暴力案件中发生致命或接近致命的可能性的工具。本文介绍了 DA 的开发、心理测量验证和使用建议。一项涉及 11 个城市的杀害亲密伴侣女性的研究采用多变量分析来测试亲密伴侣杀害女性案件 (N = 310) 的 DA 风险因素的预测有效性，并与同一城市的 324 名受虐待妇女（对照）进行比较。结果用于修改 DA（添加了四个项目；一个“双桶”项目分为两个），计算出的权重（调整后的比值比）用于开发具有风险级别的评分算法。然后使用未遂杀害女性的独立样本（N = 194）对这些风险水平进行测试，其中 90 例的最终结果包含在接受者操作特征 (ROC) 曲线下的区域中。
The Danger Assessment (DA) is an instrument designed to assess the likelihood of lethality or near lethality occurring in a case of intimate partner violence. This article describes the development, psychometric validation, and suggestions for use of the DA. An 11-city study of intimate partner femicide used multivariate analysis to test the predictive validity of the risk factors on the DA from intimate partner femicide cases (N = 310) compared with 324 abused women in the same cities (controls). The results were used to revise the DA (four items added; one "double- barreled" item divided into two), and the calculated weights (adjusted odds ratios) used to develop a scoring algorithm with levels of risk. These levels of risk were then tested with an independent sample of attempted femicides (N = 194) with a final outcome of 90 of the cases included in the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
