OBJECTIVES
Estimates of intimate partner violence in the United States based on representative samples have relied on data from one person per household or limited numbers of indicators from both partners. The purpose of this study was to estimate nationwide rates of intimate partner violence with data from both couple members by using a standardized survey instrument, the Conflict Tactics Scale.
METHODS
A multistage probability sampling design was used to conduct separate face-to-face interviews in respondents' homes with both members of 1635 representative couples living in the 48 contiguous states.
RESULTS
Both partners' reports were used to estimate the following lower- and upper-bound rates: 5.21% and 13.61% for male-to-female partner violence, 6.22% and 18.21% for female-to-male partner violence, and 7.84% to 21.48% for any partner-to-partner violence.
CONCLUSIONS
High rates of intimate partner violence in the United States corroborate previous claims that the amount of intimate partner violence is substantial.
目的
基于代表性样本对美国亲密伴侣暴力的估计，依赖于每户一人的数据或来自双方的有限数量指标。本研究的目的是通过使用标准化调查工具“冲突策略量表”，利用夫妻双方的数据来估计全国范围内亲密伴侣暴力的发生率。
方法
采用多阶段概率抽样设计，在48个相邻州的1635对代表性夫妻的家中，分别对夫妻双方进行面对面访谈。
结果
双方的报告用于估计以下下限和上限发生率：男性对女性伴侣暴力为5.21%和13.61%，女性对男性伴侣暴力为6.22%和18.21%，任何伴侣间暴力为7.84%至21.48%。
结论
美国亲密伴侣暴力的高发生率证实了先前关于亲密伴侣暴力数量可观的说法。
