DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): More than 15 studies have found an association between adolescent alcohol use and dating violence perpetration using gross measures of past-month or past-year behavior, but none have determined the temporal order of alcohol use and dating violence on days when both occur. Evidence about the potentially causal relationship between adolescent alcohol use and dating violence is essential in order to develop effective interventions to reduce both. The proposed longitudinal cohort study will use an innovative data collection method (Interactive Voice Response, or IVR) to collect daily reports on alcohol use and dating violence from 80 urban, primarily low-income and non-White, adolescents over a 12 week period. The study will provide feasibility data about the use of IVR to collect sensitive information from a "hard-to-reach" population, will yield information about the sequence of events on days when participants drink and perpetrate dating violence, and will compare event data collected via IVR and TLFB for the same time period. Specifically, we hypothesize that: (1) Using a high-intensity retention strategy, it will be feasible to collect IVR drinking and dating violence data from this sample and achieve a good participation rate: e70% of participants will provide data on e75% of the follow-up days;(2) Dating violence perpetration will be significantly more likely to occur within a 4 hr. window following alcohol use than when alcohol has not been used for >4 hrs; (3)The mean average number of drinks consumed prior to a dating violence event will significantly exceed the number consumed afterwards; and (4) Males and females will be equally likely to have an increased risk of dating violence perpetration within a 4 hr. window after alcohol use. We will also conduct exploratory analyses to investigate whether there is concordance between events reported via IVR and TLFB. The proposed research is innovative because it will (1) produce knowledge about a high-risk population that the NIAAA has determined is under-researched; (2) generate new information about the feasibility of using IVR with hard-to-reach youth; and (3) has the potential to improve both youth alcohol and partner violence prevention practice by contributing evidence about the potential connection. This study will evaluate the temporal relationship between adolescent alcohol use and dating violence perpetration, and provide information about the feasibility of using IVR for these purposes with "hard to reach" youth. Ultimately, results will inform evidence- based interventions designed to reduce both underage behaviors. Findings have the potential to answer important research questions, enhance data quality, and make a substantial contribution to prevention practice. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed longitudinal cohort study will use an innovative data collection method (Interactive Voice Response) to collect daily reports on alcohol use and dating violence from a sample of urban, primarily low-income and non-White, adolescents recruited from a pediatric emergency department. These data will yield information about the sequence of events on days when participants drink and perpetrate dating violence. Ultimately, knowledge about the temporal order of youth alcohol use and dating violence will help clarify whether drinking elevates risk for this form of interpersonal violence, and will inform evidence-based prevention strategies.

描述（由申请人提供）：超过 15 项研究通过对过去一个月或过去一年行为的总体测量，发现青少年饮酒和约会暴力之间存在关联，但没有一项研究确定了饮酒和约会暴力发生的时间顺序。为了制定有效的干预措施来减少青少年饮酒和约会暴力之间的潜在因果关系，有关青少年饮酒和约会暴力之间潜在因果关系的证据至关重要。拟议的纵向队列研究将使用创新的数据收集方法（交互式语音应答，或 IVR）来收集 80 名城市青少年（主要是低收入和非白人）在 12 周内有关饮酒和约会暴力的每日报告。该研究将提供有关使用 IVR 从“难以接触到”的人群收集敏感信息的可行性数据，将产生有关参与者饮酒和实施约会暴力的事件顺序的信息，并将比较通过 IVR 和 TLFB 收集的同一时间段的事件数据。具体来说，我们假设：（1）使用高强度保留策略，从该样本中收集 IVR 饮酒和约会暴力数据是可行的，并实现良好的参与率：e70% 的参与者将在 e75% 的后续日子里提供数据；（2）约会暴力行为在 4 小时内发生的可能性明显更高。饮酒后的窗口期与未饮酒超过 4 小时时相比； (3)约会暴力事件发生前的平均饮酒量将明显超过约会暴力事件后的平均饮酒量； (4) 男性和女性在 4 小时内发生约会暴力的风险同样增加。饮酒后的窗口。我们还将进行探索性分析，以调查通过 IVR 和 TLFB 报告的事件之间是否存在一致性。拟议的研究具有创新性，因为它将 (1) 提供有关 NIAAA 确定研究不足的高风险人群的知识； (2) 生成关于对难以接触到的青少年使用 IVR 的可行性的新信息； (3) 通过提供有关潜在联系的证据，有可能改善青少年酗酒和伴侣暴力的预防实践。这项研究将评估青少年饮酒与约会暴力实施之间的时间关系，并提供有关针对“难以接触到”的青少年使用 IVR 的可行性信息。最终，结果将为旨在减少这两种未成年行为的循证干预措施提供信息。研究结果有可能回答重要的研究问题，提高数据质量，并为预防实践做出重大贡献。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的纵向队列研究将使用创新的数据收集方法（交互式语音应答）从儿科急诊科招募的城市青少年样本（主要是低收入和非白人）中收集有关饮酒和约会暴力的每日报告。这些数据将产生有关参与者饮酒和实施约会暴力的事件顺序的信息。最终，了解青少年饮酒和约会暴力的时间顺序将有助于澄清饮酒是否会增加这种形式的人际暴力的风险，并为基于证据的预防策略提供信息。
