N2  - Examined patterns of reported assault among a birth cohort of 960 New Zealand children (aged 2–7 yrs) and their families. Data were gathered with regard to parental social and demographic characteristics and family life events. Wife assault occurred at a rate of 2% to 3% per year, with approximately 8.5% of wives reporting assault during a 6-yr period. Rates of assault were related to family formation variables and social factors, including length of marriage, type of marriage, planning of pregnancy, parental age, church attendance, and family socioeconomic status. Various risk factors relating to wife assault showed substantial differences in rates of assault on the basis of characteristics of the family. (Authors' abstract). Record #9283
