While there are known developmental consequences and correlates of intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization, research focused on bidirectional and multiple forms of partner violence among Latino emerging adults is needed. This longitudinal study identified latent classes of intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization patterns among emerging adult Latinos (N = 1060; 60.6% female). A second aim examined acculturation and cumulative substance use correlates in high school, as predictors of intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization classes in emerging adulthood. Average age of participants was 15.5 years in 10th grade and 22.7 years in emerging adulthood. We identified four distinct subgroups of intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization, with 22% of individuals identified in a violence perpetration and victimization subgroup. Cumulative heavy episodic drinking and marijuana use in high school predicted belonging to the psychological bidirectional intimate partner violence group rather than the group with no violence. Cumulative marijuana use in high school, predicted belonging to the sexual bidirectional partner violence group compared to the no violence group. Our study extends the literature across developmental periods among Latino youth. The findings have implications for early adolescent prevention strategies and promotion of healthy intimate relationships.
虽然已经了解到亲密伴侣暴力的实施和受害与发展后果和相关性有关，但仍需要针对拉丁裔青年成人中双向和多种形式的伴侣暴力进行研究。本纵向研究确定了拉丁裔青年成人中亲密伴侣暴力实施和受害模式的潜在类别（N=1060；女性占 60.6%）。第二个目的是检验高中时期的文化适应和累积物质使用相关性，作为成年早期亲密伴侣暴力实施和受害类别的预测因素。参与者的平均年龄在高中 10 年级时为 15.5 岁，在成年早期时为 22.7 岁。我们确定了亲密伴侣暴力实施和受害的四个不同亚组，其中有 22%的个体属于暴力实施和受害亚组。高中时期的累积重度间歇性饮酒和大麻使用预测属于心理双向亲密伴侣暴力组，而不是无暴力组。高中时期的累积大麻使用预测属于性双向伴侣暴力组，而不是无暴力组。我们的研究扩展了拉丁裔青年在不同发展阶段的文献。研究结果对青少年早期预防策略和促进健康的亲密关系具有重要意义。
