DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Importance: Despite extensive evidence of increased rates of violence among African American and Hispanic men, information specific to these communities for describing the etiology of sexual assault (SA), intimate partner violence (IPV), peer violence (PV) are often lacking in etiological research concerning these outcomes. Identification of potentially modifiable protective factors across multiple levels of the socio-ecological model is critical to enhance our ability to design effective violence prevention programs tailored to these high-risk groups. Objectives: To address this unmet need, the current study seeks to inform risk and protective factors across the individual, family / peer and community levels of socio-ecological model specific to 1) African American and 2) Hispanic men concerning perpetration of 1) SA, 2) IPV and 3) PV. Design: The proposed study will employ secondary data analysis of a community-based, cross-sectional dataset collected from a large urban sample of men ages 18-35 largely comprised of two minority groups, specifically African American (11=1350) and Latino (n=8oo) men. Setting and Participants: Participants were recruited at three urban community health centers for a study designed to assess the etiology of men's IPV perpetration across a diverse population, thus the data offer tremendous depth concerning risk and protective factors of interest across multiple levels of the socio-ecological model. The proposed analyses, stratified by race / ethnicity and informing multiple forms of violence perpetration, were beyond the scope of the original study however this rich dataset is optimal for this purpose. Analyses of these community-based data will inform the influences of individual, family/relationship, and community risk and protective factors on the past-year perpetration of SA, IPV, and PV, for these two high risk groups.

描述（由申请人提供）：重要性：尽管有大量证据表明非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔男子的暴力率增加，但在有关这些结果的病因学研究中，往往缺乏针对这些社区的描述性侵犯（SA），亲密伴侣暴力（IPV），同伴暴力（PV）病因学的信息。 在社会生态模型的多个层面上确定潜在的可修改的保护因素，对于提高我们设计针对这些高危群体的有效暴力预防方案的能力至关重要。 目的：为了解决这一未满足的需求，目前的研究旨在为1）非洲裔美国人和2）西班牙裔男性特定的社会生态模型的个人，家庭/同龄人和社区层面的风险和保护因素提供信息，涉及1）SA，2）IPV和3）PV的实施。 设计图：拟议的研究将采用基于社区的横断面数据集的二次数据分析，该数据集收集自18-35岁男性的大型城市样本，主要由两个少数群体组成，特别是非洲裔美国人（11=1350）和拉丁美洲人（n= 8 oo）男性。 设置和参与者：参与者被招募在三个城市社区卫生中心进行研究，旨在评估不同人群中男性IPV发病的病因，因此数据提供了关于社会生态模型多个层面的风险和保护因素的巨大深度。 拟议的分析按种族/族裔分层，并提供多种形式的暴力行为，超出了最初研究的范围，但这一丰富的数据集是最佳的。 这些基于社区的数据的分析将告知个人，家庭/关系和社区风险和保护因素对这两个高风险群体的SA，IPV和PV的过去一年的犯罪的影响。
