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）：指导研究科学家发展奖将使候选人能够在与酒精相关的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）领域发展富有成效的、独立的研究生涯。该奖项将提供必要的资源和时间，将候选人目前使用公共卫生和执法数据进行 IPV 研究的技能与一般人群研究、酒精使用和医疗保健利用方面的新研究技能相结合。具体的职业发展目标包括1）成为伴侣暴力和酗酒领域的公共卫生专家，特别强调公共数据的使用； 2) 增加对酒精和暴力方面科学合理、基于理论的研究的了解； 3) 获得设计和开展以原始数据收集为特征的人际暴力研究的知识和技能； 4) 促进候选人作为独立研究员的专业发展。这些目标将通过课程作业、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。两项研究旨在调查这些关系，重点关注女性受害者和男性施暴者。研究 1 将利用之前收集的全国横断面调查数据来评估 IPV 受害（和犯罪）与 1) 饮酒和 2) 酒精和心理健康治疗及非初级保健的医疗保健利用之间的关系。研究 2 将把主要大都市的警察记录与全州范围内的医院出院记录联系起来，形成一项基于人口的回顾性队列研究，使用人口普查数据作为未暴露队列的分母。具体目标是确定：1​​) 按种族和年龄划分的警方报告 IPV 的比率，以及 2) 暴露者之间经年龄调整的总体住院率以及与酒精、毒品、心理健康和暴力相关诊断相关的比率以及未暴露的受害者和肇事者群体。这两项研究都将重点关注种族和民族差异。
