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描述性侵犯（SA）、亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）、同伴暴力（PV）病因的信息。 识别社会生态模型多个层面上潜在可修改的保护因素对于提高我们针对这些高风险群体设计有效的暴力预防计划的能力至关重要。 目标：为了解决这一未满足的需求，本研究旨在告知个人、家庭/同伴和社区层面的社会生态模型的风险和保护因素，具体针对 1) 非裔美国人和 2) 西班牙裔男性，涉及 1) SA、2) IPV 和 3) PV。 设计：拟议的研究将对基于社区的横截面数据集进行二次数据分析，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，特别是非裔美国人 (11=1350) 和拉丁裔 (n=8oo) 男性。 背景和参与者：在三个城市社区卫生中心招募参与者进行一项研究，旨在评估不同人群中男性 IPV 发生的病因学，因此数据提供了有关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/民族分层并告知多种形式的暴力行为，超出了原始研究的范围，但这个丰富的数据集对于此目的来说是最佳的。 对这些社区数据的分析将了解个人、家庭/关系以及社区风险和保护因素对这两个高风险群体过去一年的 SA、IPV 和 PV 行为的影响。

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.
