 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem among adolescents and young adults. Approximately one-third of young people have experienced some form of violence by an intimate partner. There are short- and long-term consequences of IPV. Women in violent relationships experience higher rates of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, women who become pregnant in violent relationships are more likely to die in childbirth, and children born into violent relationships hae higher rates of low birth weight and infant mortality. And, some research suggests that these health consequences are greater as the frequency and severity of violence increase. Although there have recently been significant advances in knowledge about IPV, methodological and substantive problems with past research substantially limit our understanding of IPV and how to reduce and prevent it. In particular, we know little about how IPV changes over time, and in particular, what individual and relationship factors influence these changes. We propose new research to investigate the dynamic patterns of violence within young women's intimate relationships and the extent to which individual and relationship factors influence these dynamic patterns. Such an investigation requires detailed, dynamic measures of IPV and a rich set of individual and relationship measures that are also dynamic across time. Most available data resources suffer from fundamental weaknesses for this purpose. Newly available, unique data from the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) study make this research possible because they feature detailed weekly measures of violence and pregnancy for a racially and socioeconomically diverse, population-representative random sample of young women. The specific aims of the project are to: (1) identify the dynamic patterns of violence within young women's intimate relationships and (2) investigate individual and relationship factors that influence the dynamic patterns of violence. To meet the specific aims of our research, we propose a study based on the analysis of existing data from the RDSL study, based on a sample of 1,003 18- and 19-year-old women in a Michigan county. Face-to-face, 60-minute interviews were followed by a 2.5 year journal-based weekly follow-up study about their relationship experiences (including violence), sex, contraception, and pregnancy.

 描述（由申请人提供）：亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 是青少年和年轻人中的一个重大公共卫生问题。大约三分之一的年轻人经历过亲密伴侣某种形式的暴力行为。 IPV 会产生短期和长期后果。处于暴力关系中的妇女意外怀孕和性传播感染的几率更高，在暴力关系中怀孕的妇女在分娩时死亡的可能性更大，而在暴力关系中出生的孩子出生体重过低和婴儿死亡率更高。而且，一些研究表明，随着暴力的频率和严重程度的增加，这些健康后果也会更大。尽管最近有关 IPV 的知识取得了重大进展，但过去研究的方法论和实质性问题严重限制了我们对 IPV 以及如何减少和预防 IPV 的理解。特别是，我们对 IPV 如何随时间变化，特别是哪些个人和关系因素影响这些变化知之甚少。我们提出新的研究来调查年轻女性亲密关系中暴力的动态模式以及个人和关系因素对这些动态模式的影响程度。这样的调查需要详细、动态的 IPV 测量以及一组丰富的个人和关系测量，这些测量在时间上也是动态的。大多数可用的数据资源在这方面都存在根本性的弱点。来自关系动态和社会生活 (RDSL) 研究的最新独特数据使这项研究成为可能，因为它们针对种族和社会经济多样化、具有人口代表性的年轻女性随机样本提供了详细的每周暴力和怀孕测量数据。该项目的具体目标是：(1) 确定年轻女性亲密关系中暴力的动态模式；(2) 调查影响暴力动态模式的个人和关系因素。为了实现我们研究的具体目标，我们在对 RDSL 研究的现有数据进行分析的基础上提出了一项研究，该研究以密歇根州一个县的 1,003 名 18 岁和 19 岁女性为样本。在进行 60 分钟的面对面访谈后，进行了为期 2.5 年的基于期刊的每周跟踪研究，内容涉及她们的关系经历（包括暴力）、性、避孕和怀孕。
