这项申请提出了一项后续全国调查，第一波调查已于1995年进行。总体而言，这项调查试图调查种族、社会经济地位、饮酒和暴力之间的相互关系，并采用具有全国代表性的跟踪样本进行调查。应用程序有描述性的、理论的和方法论的特定目标。这项调查的具体描述性目标是：(1)估计美国非洲裔、西班牙裔和白人夫妇亲密伴侣暴力的发生率、发生率和稳定性，以及(2)估计亲密伴侣暴力与各种酒精措施之间的关联。这项研究的具体理论目标是：(1)检验低社会经济地位调节亲密伴侣暴力与饮酒之间关系的假设，(2)评估拉美裔亲密伴侣暴力与文化适应之间的联系，(3)检验由每个伴侣的个体水平变量组成的纵向结构模型，该结构模型将学习历史、态度、个性、饮酒和二元体内与酒精相关的暴力联系起来，以及(4)用夫妻功能指数和精神病理学指数检验亲密伴侣暴力与饮酒模式的纵向和横向相互关系。调查的方法论目标是：(1)评估配偶之间在亲密伴侣暴力和与酒精相关的亲密伴侣暴力发生方面的一致性，(2)评估亲密伴侣暴力的潜在差异，这是从一个受访者那里收集数据的功能，还是从夫妻双方成员那里收集数据的功能。

This application proposes a follow-up national survey, the first wave having been conducted in 1995. In general, the investigation seeks to examine the interrelationships between ethnicity, socioeconomic status, alcohol use, and violence, employing a national representative follow-up sample to do so. There are descriptive, theoretical, and methodological specific aims stated for the application. The descriptive specific aims of the investigation are: (1) estimate the prevalence, incidence, and stability of intimate partner violence for African-American, Hispanic, and White couples in the U.S., and (2) estimate the association between intimate partner violence and a wide variety of alcohol measures. The theoretically-specific aims of the investigation are: (1) test the hypothesis that low socioeconomic status moderates the relation-ship between intimate partner violence and alcohol use, (2) Assess the association between acculturation and intimate partner violence among Hispanics, (3) test a longitudinal structural model composed of individual-level variables for each partner interrelating learning history, attitudes, personality, alcohol consumption, and alcohol- related violence within the dyad, and (4) Examine the longitudinal and cross-sectional interrelationships of intimate partner violence and alcohol consumption patterns with indices of couple functioning and psychopathology. The methodological aims of the investigation are: (1) Assess concordance between spouses about the occurrence of intimate partner violence and alcohol-related intimate partner violence, (2) Assess potential differences in intimate partner violence as a function of collecting data from one respondent vs. collecting data from both couple members.
