DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is to fund the continuance of the Lehigh Longitudinal Study, which has focused on the occurrence and consquences of family violence and other forms of childhood adversity. The proposed study adds an adult assesment to three earlier waves of comprehensive, multi-method data collection in which parents and children were assessed over a 15-year period: in 1976-1977 when children were of preschool age; in 1980-1982 when children were of school age; and in 1990-1992 when children were adolescents. The study is unique in that it contains prospective data on direct abuse and children's exposure to domestic violence drawn from multiple sources (including child welfare case records and surveys of parents and children). Observations of families in the preschool and school-age periods provide additonal information on the quality of parent-child relationships. The next assessment will extend information on participants into adulthood, providing a rare opportunity to study, in a gender-balanced community sample, the enduring effects of childhood adversity and resilience in those previously exposed to violence, abuse, and other forms of child maltreatment (e.g., neglect). Analyses of new and existing data will investigate (a) the co-occurrence of domestic violence exposure, childhood abuse, and other stressors within and outside the family; (b) the effects of exposure to domestic violence and multiple forms of direct abuse on outcomes in adolescence and adulthood; (c) the psychosocial mechanisms through which exposure to domestic violence and direct abuse result in harmful, long-term effects; and (d) sources of protection and resilience in individuals over time. When they are next assessed, participants will be 28-37 years of age (avg: 33); assesment at this life stage will allow examination of changes in psychosocial functioning and behavior over several developmental periods. Retention of participants in the last assessment was strong (91%), and results of preliminary locating for the next adult assessment are highly encouraging. Findings of this study will have implications for practice and policies focused on reducing family violence and other risk factors, promoting resilience in vulnerable children and families, and strengthening environmental resources to lessen the enduring impact of violence exposure. The proposal involves a cross-site collaboration between two very qualified, highly productive research teams with extensive experience and considerable investment in this study.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在资助利哈伊纵向研究的继续，该研究的重点是家庭暴力和其他形式的儿童逆境的发生和后果。拟议的研究在早期三波全面、多方法数据收集的基础上增加了成人评估，其中对父母和儿童进行了 15 年的评估：1976 年至 1977 年，儿童处于学龄前阶段； 1980年至1982年，儿童处于学龄期； 1990年至1992年，孩子们还是青少年。该研究的独特之处在于它包含从多个来源（包括儿童福利案例记录以及对父母和儿童的调查）获取的直接虐待和儿童遭受家庭暴力的前瞻性数据。对学龄前和学龄期家庭的观察提供了有关亲子关系质量的额外信息。下一次评估将把参与者的信息扩展到成年期，提供一个难得的机会，在性别平衡的社区样本中研究童年逆境的持久影响以及那些曾经遭受过暴力、虐待和其他形式儿童虐待（例如忽视）的人的复原力。对新数据和现有数据的分析将调查 (a) 家庭暴力暴露、儿童虐待以及家庭内外其他压力源的同时发生； (b) 遭受家庭暴力和多种形式的直接虐待对青春期和成年期结局的影响； (c) 家庭暴力和直接虐待导致有害的长期影响的社会心理机制； (d) 随着时间的推移，个人的保护和复原力来源。下次评估时，参与者的年龄为 28-37 岁（平均：33 岁）；这一生命阶段的评估将能够检查几个发展时期心理社会功能和行为的变化。上次评估的参与者保留率很高（91%），并且初步定位下一次成人评估的结果非常令人鼓舞。这项研究的结果将对减少家庭暴力和其他风险因素、提高弱势儿童和家庭的复原力以及加强环境资源以减轻暴力暴露的持久影响的实践和政策产生影响。该提案涉及两个非常合格、高产的研究团队之间的跨地点合作，他们在这项研究中拥有丰富的经验和大量的投资。
