URBAN AFRICAN AMERICAN & HISPANIC MENS PERPETRATION OF MULTIPLE FORMS OF VIOLENCE

描述(由申请人提供)：重要性：尽管有大量证据表明非裔美国人和西班牙裔男性的暴力发生率有所上升，但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)的病因的信息往往缺乏关于这些结果的病因学研究。在社会生态模式的多个层面上确定潜在的可修改的保护因素，对于提高我们为这些高危群体量身定做的有效暴力预防方案的能力至关重要。 目的：为了解决这一未得到满足的需求，目前的研究试图向个人、家庭/同龄人和社区层面的1)非洲裔美国人和2)西班牙裔男性关于实施1)SA、2)IPV和3)PV的社会生态模式的风险和保护因素提供信息。 设计：拟议的研究将对一个基于社区的横断面数据集进行二次数据分析，该数据集是从18-35岁的男性城市样本中收集的，主要由两个少数群体组成，特别是非裔美国人(11=1350)和拉丁裔(n=800)男性。 地点和参与者：参与者在三个城市社区卫生中心被招募，进行一项旨在评估男性在不同人群中实施IPV的病因的研究，因此数据提供了涉及社会生态模型多个层面的风险和保护性因素的巨大深度。拟议的分析按种族/族裔分层，并告知实施多种形式的暴力行为，超出了原始研究的范围，但这一丰富的数据集对于这一目的是最佳的。对这些以社区为基础的数据的分析将揭示个人、家庭/关系和社区风险和保护因素对这两个高危群体过去一年实施SA、IPV和PV的影响。

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.
