More participants were married (46.8% to 53.2%) due to a large proportion of the 20s group marrying after the baseline interview, proportions of separated/divorced/widowed respondents (44.5% to 55.5%) were consistent across age groups, and fewer people remained never married (62.1% to 37.9%).
The main interview response proportion declined from 81% in 1995 to 56% in 2009.
The interview response proportion declined from 81% in 1995 to 54% in 2008.
Acculturation was assessed with two proxy measures: language of the interview and proportion of lifespan spent in the USA.
By contrast, of those who had sex the day before the interview, the proportion who used a condom is only 9.5%and4.3%3%, respectively.
Predictor variables include (1) demographic characteristics of poverty level, marital status, employment status, and foreign-born status; (2) psychosocial factors of prenatal depression, parity, recent IPV exposure, remote IPV exposure, non-IPV trauma history, and social support; and (3) acculturation measures of language of interview and proportion of life spent in the USA.
Of the 1137 pre-identified participants in the sample, all presumed to be eligible, 573 were available and willing and completed their interviews (participation proportion: 50.4%).
In addition, there were expectations regarding: timeliness of interview scheduling, proportions of people recruited and followed-up (on average), and communication style.
Notable exceptions are Rust [ 14] and Brew and Lublin [ 15]: both studies reported, based on follow-up interviews, high proportions of staff claiming to have applied the ideas gained in the short courses.
Interviewing both trainees and trainers, interviewing together for a proportion of the interviews, as well as the assessment of the clinical environment by the interviewers, may have helped limit personal biases.
