OBJECTIVES Examine characteristics associated with firearm homicides of children aged 0-17 years precipitated by intimate partner violence (IPV). METHODS Data were from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's National Violent Death Reporting System (49 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico; 2003-2020). Logistic regression was used to examine associations between various characteristics and IPV among child firearm homicides. RESULTS From 2003-2020, a total of 11 594 child homicides were captured in the National Violent Death Reporting System, of which 49.3% (n = 5716) were firearm homicides; 12.0% (n = 686) of child firearm homicides were IPV-related. Among IPV-related child firearm homicides, 86.0% (n = 590) were child corollary victims (ie, children whose death was connected to IPV between others); 14.0% (n = 96) were teens killed by a current or former dating partner. Child firearm homicides had greater odds of involving IPV when precipitated by conflict, crises, and cooccurring with the perpetrator's suicide compared with those without these characteristics. Over half of IPV-related firearm homicides of child corollary victims included homicide of the adult intimate partner, of which 94.1% were the child victim's mother. Child firearm homicides perpetrated by mothers' male companions (adjusted odds ratio, 6.9; 95% confidence interval, 3.9-12.1) and children's fathers (adjusted odds ratio, 4.5; 95% confidence interval, 3.0-6.8) had greater odds of involving IPV compared with those perpetrated by mothers. CONCLUSIONS Multiple factors were associated with greater odds of child firearm homicides being IPV-related. Strategies promoting healthy intimate partner relationships starting at a young age; assessment of danger to children in IPV situations; strengthening economic supports for families; creating safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments for children; and addressing social and structural inequities are important for preventing firearm homicides of children, including those involving IPV.

亲密伴侣暴力引发的美国儿童枪杀案：2003-2020 年。

目标 研究与因亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 引发的 0-17 岁儿童枪杀案相关的特征。方法 数据来自疾病控制和预防中心的国家暴力死亡报告系统（49 个州、哥伦比亚特区、波多黎各；2003-2020 年）。使用逻辑回归来检验儿童枪支凶杀案中各种特征与 IPV 之间的关联。结果 2003年至2020年，全国暴力死亡报告系统共查获儿童凶杀案11 594起，其中枪械凶杀案占49.3%（n = 5716）；12.0% (n = 686) 的儿童枪杀案与 IPV 有关。在与 IPV 相关的儿童枪杀案中，86.0% (n = 590) 是儿童必然受害者（即死亡与其他人之间的 IPV 有关的儿童）；14.0% (n = 96) 是被现任或前任约会对象杀害的青少年。与没有这些特征的儿童枪支凶杀案相比，由冲突、危机引发并与犯罪者自杀同时发生的儿童枪支凶杀案涉及 IPV 的可能性更大。超过一半的与 IPV 相关的儿童受害人枪杀案包括对成年亲密伴侣的谋杀，其中 94.1% 是儿童受害人的母亲。由母亲的男性伴侣（调整后的比值比，6.9；95% 置信区间，3.9-12.1）和孩子的父亲（调整后的比值比，4.5；95% 置信区间，3.0-6.8）实施的儿童枪支杀人案涉及 IPV 的可能性更大与母亲所犯下的罪行相比。结论 多种因素与 IPV 相关儿童枪支凶杀案的发生率较高相关。从年轻时开始促进健康的亲密伴侣关系的策略；评估 IPV 情况下对儿童的危险；加强对家庭的经济支持；为儿童创造安全、稳定和有益的关系和环境；解决社会和结构性不平等对于防止儿童枪杀案（包括涉及 IPV 的案件）非常重要。
