DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Prior research documents recurring patterns of adult black men residing for short periods in poor female-headed households, but little is known about such domestic arrangements. These transient male-female relationships temporarily structure family life. However, the transience as well as violence and drug use involved in these relationships often have serious consequences regarding safety and family functioning within already severely-distressed households. This five year study will examine the impacts of transient domesticity and violence in severely distressed black inner city households where drug use and/or sales are prominent. AIM A. (Domestic arrangements) To analyze the changes in economic, sexual and social relationships and roles of various adult black men in distressed female-headed households. AIM B. (Violence) To analyze the contexts and processes leading to episodes of aggression and violence among an adult couple and document episodes where drugs and violence co-occur and how these are related to transitions in male residence. AIM C. (Modeling) To analyze how transient domesticity provides models that potentially affect transmission of subcultural norms. Project staff will recruit 100 black focal subjects (50 females and 50 males) initially living with a partner of the opposite sex. Using an omnibus longitudinal ethnographic methodology these 100 subjects will be intensively interviewed three times a year and their (often changed) household arrangements observed regularly during the five year project. Focal males will be followed over their different domestic arrangements. Others (residential mates, adult kin, adolescents, children) with whom the focal subjects live will be surveyed. A comprehensive publication agenda will document the duration of residential stays, household composition and functioning, drug use/sale, violence, fictive fathering, mentoring, HIV/AIDS, and many other topics.

描述（由申请人提供）：先前的研究记录了成年黑人在贫穷的女户主家庭中短期居住的重复模式，但人们对这种家庭安排知之甚少。这些短暂的男女关系暂时构成了家庭生活。然而，这些关系中的短暂性以及暴力和吸毒往往会对已经严重陷入困境的家庭的安全和家庭功能产生严重后果。 这项为期五年的研究将研究短暂的家庭生活和暴力对严重陷入困境的内城区黑人家庭的影响，这些家庭吸毒和/或销售毒品的情况很严重。 AIM A.（家庭安排）分析经济、性和社会关系以及各种成年黑人在陷入困境的女户主家庭中的角色的变化。目标 B.（暴力）分析导致成年夫妇之间发生攻击和暴力事件的背景和过程，并记录毒品和暴力同时发生的事件以及这些事件与男性居住地的转变有何关系。 AIM C.（建模）分析短暂的家庭生活如何提供可能影响亚文化规范传播的模型。项目工作人员将招募 100 名黑人焦点受试者（50 名女性和 50 名男性），最初与异性伴侣同居。使用综合纵向民族志方法，这 100 名受试者每年将接受 3 次集中访谈，并在五年项目期间定期观察他们（经常发生变化）的家庭安排。焦点雄性将被跟踪其不同的家庭安排。与焦点对象共同生活的其他人（同居伴侣、成年亲属、青少年、儿童）也将接受调查。全面的出版议程将记录居住时间、家庭组成和功能、毒品使用/销售、暴力、虚构父亲、指导、艾滋病毒/艾滋病以及许多其他主题。
