Growing evidence suggests intimate partner violence (IPV) and substance misuse are co-occurring problems that disproportionately affect low income urban women seeking care in emergency departments (EDs) and represent leading causes of injuries that result in ED visits. This paper examines temporal bidirectional associations between different types of drug and alcohol use and different types of IPV in a longitudinal study of a representative sample of 241 low-income urban women receiving emergency care from an ED in the Bronx, New York. After adjusting and matching for sociodemographics and potentially confounding multilevel risk and protective covariates, women who reported using heroin in the prior 6 months at Wave 1 were twice as likely as nonheroin-using women to indicate any physical, injurious, or sexual IPV at subsequent waves and were 2.7 times more likely to indicate experiencing an injury from IPV at subsequent waves. Crack or cocaine use in the past 6 months at Wave 1 was associated with an increased likelihood of injurious IPV and severe verbal abuse at subsequent waves. Findings also suggested that sexual IPV was significantly associated with subsequent use of crack or cocaine. The multiple bidirectional associations found linking these problems underscore the need for conducting routine screening for IPV and substance misuse among women in low-income urban EDs, and for improving linkages to services that will ultimately reduce the risk of morbidity, disability, and mortality related to these co-occurring problems. 相似文献

We explored the perceptions of children’s cognitive development among Moroccan Arabic and Berber immigrant mothers who cannot
read, who are less educated, middle educated or highly educated in the Netherlands. A series of in-depth interviews was conducted
with 22 mothers with young children (mean age = 5 years and 6 months). Qualitative data analyses revealed five major themes
that are of significant importance to these mothers: moral attitudes, social values and religiousness; conversation, reading
and playing as stimulating activities; importance attached to education; parental expectations; attributions of school success.
The parental perceptions about the cognitive development of young children differed according to their own educational level.
Mothers who cannot read and mothers with less education emphasized the development of moral, social and religious values for
strengthening the cultural identity of their children. This sense of identity would enable them to function within their own
cultural group and help them to perform well at school. School success was attributed in large part to a combination of the
efforts of the child and the school. Middle and highly educated mothers, on the other hand, valued scholastic development
and attributed school success to their own efforts and to the kind of support the child received. The ethnic background of
the parents, whether Arabic or Berber, did not make a difference in the perceptions. 相似文献

This study explores accounts and reasons for engaging in HIV risk-taking behaviors reported by heterosexual men in methadone treatment programs in the Harlem section of New York City. A convenience sample of 62 men who reported having abused their female partners in the past 12 months participated in 10 focus groups. Data analysis revealed four types of HIV risky accounts, which we labeled nihilistic, hedonistic, fatalistic, and normative. The accounts were rarely found in isolation, but were delivered in rich “performative” constellations. We conclude that normative accounts in particular have important implications for HIV prevention. They show that the (hetero)sexual act is interactive “hard work” to say the least, and condoms have no role interrupting it. In the end, the risks of losing masculine face before a female partner are very much prioritized over long-run HIV risks. 相似文献
