Develop. of the Partner Violence Perpetration Among Men

正如对这些建议的呼吁中明确表示的那样，关于导致成年男性发生亲密伴侣暴力行为的风险和保护因素的数据严重缺乏。这一领域以前的少数研究没有包括IPV的主要社会背景，通常包括这些生态阶层中非常狭窄的因素，也没有审查保护因素。确定保护因素被认为对制定有效的预防方案尤为关键。我们建议对18-35岁(年龄)的男性进行一项混合方法的回顾性队列研究 一组被发现实施IPV的比率最高；N=4000)参加波士顿地区种族/伦理多元化社区的八个社区卫生中心，以评估实施IPV的风险和保护因素。将收集与IPV实施有关的发展路径和社会背景(包括个人、家庭、同龄人和社区水平)的定量调查数据。此外，我们将从对参加定量调查的男性(n=80人)的深入访谈中收集定性数据，这些调查既选择了不实施IPV，又报告了类似的风险概况，以阐明保护因素/机制，并为量化数据提供背景/意义。我们还将利用这个混合数据集来评估IPV实施和其他形式的实施的相互关系 暴力(自杀、性暴力、虐待儿童、一般暴力)。最后，我们将评估有关IPV实施的风险和保护因素的研究结果与接受治疗的男性人口的相关性，即通过对18-35岁(n=450)参与社区卫生中心服务的社区内的五个BI计划的男性进行定量调查，从这些相同的社区登记参加BI计划。这种比较对于确定确定的风险和保护因素是否与目前针对殴打女性伴侣的男性的干预相关至关重要。

As clearly expressed in the call for these proposals, data on the risk and protective factors that contribute to the development of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration among adult males are woefully lacking. The small number of previous studies in this area have failed to include major social contexts for IPV, have typically included a very narrow range of factors within these ecologic strata, and have failed to examine protective factors. Identifying protective factors is considered especially critical to constructing effective prevention programming. We propose a mixed-methods retrospective cohort study of men ages 18-35 (age Iroup found to perpetrate IPV at the highest rates; N=4000) attending eight community health centers within racially/ethically diverse neighborhoods in the Boston area to assess risk and protective factors for perpetration of IPV. Quantitative survey data will be collected regarding developmental pathways and social contexts (including individual, family, peer, and community levels) hypothesized to relate to IPV perpetration. Additionally, we will collect qualitative data from in-depth interviews of men (n=80) participating in quantitative surveys selected for both perpetration non-perpetration of IPV, but reporting similar risk profiles to elucidate protective factors/mechanisms and provide context/meaning for quantitative data. We will also utilize this mixed dataset to assess interrelations of IPV perpetration and perpetration of other forms of violence (suicide, sexual violence, child maltreatment, general violence). Finally, we will assess the relevance of findings regarding risk and protective factors for IPV perpetration to the population of men in treatment, i.e., enrolled in batterer intervention (BI) programs from these same communities via quantitative surveys of men ages 18-35 (n=450) participating in five BI programs situated within communities served by participating community health centers. This comparison will be vital to determining whether the risk and protective factors identified are relevant to present interventions for men who batter their female partners.
