Proposed Project

    National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS)--New--
The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV) are major 
public health problems that have serious health consequences and 
substantial costs for individuals, families, communities and society. 
Although it is well understood that IPV and SV are significant public 
health problems, their magnitude is not well understood and prevalence 
estimates vary considerably, due to under-reporting and non-standard or 
non-optimal survey methodology.
    The NISVS pilot survey will be administered to a random sample of 
3000 men and 3000 women ages 18-50. The proposed study is a critical 
step in the development of a national surveillance system for IPV and 
SV. The specific aims of this project are to: (1) Provide information 
that will assist in the selection of specific language to introduce IPV 
and SV victimization and perpetration in an ongoing national IPV and SV 
survey, and (2) determine the optimal order for asking questions about 
IPV (including stalking, physical violence, and emotional abuse) and 
SV. Three contexts (health, crime, and family conflict) and two 
question orders (victimization before perpetration and vice versa) will 
be evaluated to determine the context and order that best facilitates 
the reporting of victimization and perpetration.
    Ultimately, this knowledge will assist the CDC in establishing an 
ongoing data collection system for monitoring IPV and SV victimization 
and perpetration.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The 
total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,552.
