DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although intimate partner violence (IPV) primarily occurs in the home, the workplace, as a major domain of social interaction, can be a location for environmental prevention. The overall goal of this study is to determine how workplace culture, job stressors, drinking patterns, and individual/couple factors interact to influence normative beliefs around IPV, and thereafter its occurrence. The specific aims are to 1) assess the prevalence of IPV and problem drinking among workers and their partners in two different occupational settings; 2) examine if alcohol factors (e.g., heavy drinking, frequency of intoxication) predict IPV and moderate the association between IPV normative beliefs and IPV; 3) examine if IPV normative beliefs mediate the association between individual/couple characteristics and IPV; 4) examine if work stressors (e.g., job strain, overwork, unfair treatment) predict IPV and moderate the association between IPV normative beliefs and IPV; and 5) ethnographically, explicate elements of workplace culture (e.g., employee response to IPV, IPV peer modeling, relevant policy, EAP and education programs) that reinforce or challenge positive normative beliefs about IPV, and thereafter, influence its occurrence. The study design calls for a five-year study of blue-collar workers in the auto manufacturing and building trades industries, and their spouses/cohabiting partners. We employ a multi-method approach with a survey of 1000 couples (1000 married/cohabiting workers and their partners for a total of 2000 respondents), and an ethnography that includes 120 semi-structured interviews with key management, union and EAP personnel, and selected observations at the worksite. This project will provide a better understanding of how individual and environmental factors influence the occurrence of IPV among workers and their partners. In the study's last year, we will develop IPV and related problem drinking prevention guidelines for the workplace based on environmental and policy changes.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）主要发生在家庭中，但工作场所作为社会互动的主要领域，可以成为环境预防的场所。本研究的总体目标是确定工作场所文化、工作压力源、饮酒模式和个人/夫妻因素如何相互作用，影响 IPV 的规范信念及其发生。具体目标是 1) 评估两种不同职业环境中工人及其伴侣的 IPV 和饮酒问题的流行率； 2) 检查酒精因素（例如大量饮酒、中毒频率）是否可以预测 IPV 并调节 IPV 规范信念与 IPV 之间的关联； 3) 检查 IPV 规范信念是否调节个人/夫妻特征与 IPV 之间的关联； 4) 检查工作压力源（例如工作紧张、过度劳累、不公平待遇）是否可以预测 IPV 并调节 IPV 规范信念与 IPV 之间的关联； 5) 从人种学角度，阐明工作场所文化的要素（例如，员工对 IPV 的反应、IPV 同伴建模、相关政策、EAP 和教育计划），这些要素强化或挑战有关 IPV 的积极规范信念，进而影响其发生。该研究设计要求对汽车制造和建筑行业的蓝领工人及其配偶/同居伴侣进行为期五年的研究。我们采用多种方法对 1000 对夫妇进行了调查（1000 名已婚/同居工人及其伴侣，总共 2000 名受访者），并进行了民族志调查，其中包括对关键管理人员、工会和 EAP 人员进行 120 次半结构化访谈，以及现场选定的观察结果。该项目将帮助人们更好地了解个人和环境因素如何影响工人及其伴侣中 IPV 的发生。在这项研究的最后一年，我们将根据环境和政策的变化，为工作场所制定 IPV 和相关问题饮酒预防指南。
