DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Mentored Research Scientist Development Award will enable the Candidate to develop a productive, independent research career in the field of alcohol-related intimate partner violence (IPV). This award will provide the resources and time necessary to integrate the Candidate's current skills in IPV research using public health and law enforcement data with new research skills in general population studies, alcohol use, and healthcare utilization. Specific career development goals include 1) becoming a public health expert in the field of partner violence and alcohol use with particular emphasis on the use of public data; 2) increasing knowledge of scientifically sound, theory-based research in alcohol and violence; 3) gaining knowledge and skills in the design and conduct of studies on interpersonal violence that feature original data collection; and 4) fostering the Candidate's professional development as an independent researcher. These goals will be achieved through coursework, independent study, and applied educational activities. The main objective of the research is to examine the relationships between IPV, alcohol use, and healthcare utilization. Two studies are proposed to investigate these relationships, focusing on female victims and male perpetrators. Study 1 will utilize previously collected cross-sectional national survey data to assess the relationship between IPV victimization (and perpetration) and 1) alcohol use, and 2) healthcare utilization for alcohol and mental health treatment and nonprimary care. Study 2 will link police records from a major metropolitan city to state-wide hospital discharge records to from a population-based retrospective cohort study, using census data as the denominator for the unexposed cohort. The specific aims are to determine: 1) the rate of police reported IPV by ethnicity and age, and 2) the age-adjusted hospitalization rate ratio overall and rates associated with alcohol, drug, mental health, and violence-related diagnoses between the exposed and the unexposed cohorts for victims and perpetrators. Both studies will focus on racial and ethnic disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：指导的研究科学家发展奖将使候选人能够在酒精相关的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）领域发展富有成效的独立研究职业。该奖项将提供使用公共卫生和执法数据与一般人口研究，饮酒和医疗保健利用中的新研究技能相结合的资源和时间。特定的职业发展目标包括1）成为伴侣暴力和饮酒领域的公共卫生专家，特别强调使用公共数据； 2）越来越多地了解基于理论的酒精和暴力研究； 3）在设计和进行有关人际暴力的研究中获得知识和技能，以原始数据收集为特色； 4）促进候选人作为独立研究人员的专业发展。这些目标将通过课程，独立学习和应用教育活动来实现。该研究的主要目的是检查IPV，饮酒和医疗保健利用之间的关系。提出了两项​​研究来研究这些关系，重点是女性受害者和男性肇事者。研究1将利用先前收集的横断面国家调查数据来评估IPV受害（和实施）和1）饮酒的关系，以及2）用于酒精和心理健康治疗以及非主要护理的医疗保健利用。研究2将使用人口普查数据作为未暴露的队列的分母，将来自大都市主要城市的警察记录与州范围的医院出院记录联系起来。具体目的是确定：1​​）按种族和年龄报告的警察报告的IPV率，以及2）与酒精，药物，精神健康以及暴露的受害者和犯罪者未暴露的队列之间与酒精，药物，精神健康以及与暴力相关的诊断相关的年龄调整的住院率比率。两项研究都将侧重于种族和种族差异。
