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）：以前的研究文件反复出现的模式，成年黑人男子居住在贫困的女户主家庭短期，但很少有人知道这样的家庭安排。这些短暂的男女关系暂时构成了家庭生活。然而，这些关系的短暂性以及暴力和吸毒往往对已经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探讨短暂性暴力和暴力对严重贫困的黑人内城家庭的影响，在这些家庭中，毒品使用和/或销售是突出的。AIM A.（家庭安排）分析经济，性和社会关系的变化和各种成年黑人男子在苦恼的女户主家庭的角色。AIM B。（暴力）分析导致成年夫妇之间的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，以及这些事件如何与男性住所的过渡有关。AIM C.（建模）分析瞬时性是如何提供可能影响亚文化规范传播的模型的。项目工作人员将招募100名黑人重点受试者（50名女性和50名男性），他们最初与异性伴侣生活在一起。使用综合纵向人种学方法，这100名受试者将每年接受三次密集采访，并在五年项目期间定期观察他们（经常改变）的家庭安排。焦点男性将被跟踪他们不同的家庭安排。将调查与重点受试者共同生活的其他人（同居伴侣、成年亲属、青少年、儿童）。一个全面的出版议程将记录住宿的时间、家庭组成和功能、毒品使用/销售、暴力、虚构的父亲、指导、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和许多其他主题。
