Proposed Project

    Program Effectiveness Evaluation of Workplace Intervention for 
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)--New--National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and brief description of the proposed project

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects a substantial number of 
Americans, and there has recently been increasing recognition of the 
impact it has on the workplace. In addition to direct impacts 
(batterers often stalk or even attack IPV victims at their place of 
work), IPV has indirect impacts on the workplace environment through 
lost productivity due to medical leave, absenteeism, and fear and 
distraction on the part of victims and co-workers. The Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has contracted with RTI 
International (RTI) to evaluate an ongoing workplace IPV prevention 
program being implemented at a national corporation. The purpose of the 
proposed evaluation is to document in detail the workplace IPV 
prevention activities delivered by the company, to determine the impact 
of these activities on short-term and long-term outcomes, and to 
determine the cost-effectiveness of the program. All managers at the 
corporation will be screened to assess training experiences. Then, more 
in-depth surveys will be done among managers who have not had the 
corporation's IPV training. We will survey those 500 managers at 
baseline, and 6 and 12 months later. Manager surveys will focus on 
knowledge/awareness of IPV and company resources for IPV and number of 
referrals for IPV assistance. We will also survey two waves of 
employees of those managers (N = 1500) using a web-based survey at 
baseline and 12 months later to assess their self-evaluated 
productivity, absenteeism, and perceptions of manager behavior. We will 
compare the responses of managers (and their employees) who received 
the IPV training in the study period (i.e., sometime between the 
baseline and 12 month surveys) with untrained managers. The study will 
provide CDC and employers information about the potential effectiveness 
and cost-effectiveness of workplace IPV intervention strategies.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time to 
participate in the interview. The estimated total annualized burden 
hours are 1125.
