Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-7570 or send an email to 
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of

Proposed Project

    National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (OMB No. 0920-
0822, exp. 09/30/2012)--Revision--National Center for Injury Prevention 
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The health burden of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), Sexual 
Violence (SV) and stalking are substantial. To address

[[Page 51810]]

this important public health problem, in 2010, CDC implemented the 
National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) which 
produces national and state level estimates of IPV, SV and stalking on 
an annual basis.
    NISVS uses a dual-frame sampling strategy that includes both 
landline and cell phone. In 2010, approximately 45.2% of interviews 
were conducted by landline telephone and 54.8% of interviews were 
conducted using respondent's cell phone. The overall weighted response 
rate for 2010 data collection was 27.5%. The weighted cooperation rate 
was 81.3%. The cooperation rate reflects the proportion who agreed to 
participate in the interview among those who were contacted and 
determined eligible. The cooperation rate obtained for 2010 data 
collection suggests that, once contact was made and eligibility was 
determined, the majority of respondents chose to participate in the 
interview.
    In the first year of data collection, NISVS data indicated that 
approximately 6.9 million women and 5.6 million men experienced rape, 
physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner within the 
last year. NISVS data also suggested that 18.3% of women and 1.4% of 
men in the U.S. experienced rape in their lifetime. In addition, 44.5% 
of women and 22.2% of men experienced sexual violence other than rape 
during their lifetime. Approximately 5 million women and 1.4 million 
men in the United States were stalked in the 12 months prior to the 
survey.
    There are also overlaps between stalking and other forms of 
violence experienced in intimate relationships; approximately 14% of 
females who were stalked by an intimate partner in their lifetime also 
experienced physical violence. Approximately 12% of female victims 
experienced rape, physical violence and stalking by a current or former 
intimate partner in their lifetime. Furthermore, 76% of female victims 
of intimate partner homicides were stalked by their partners before 
they were killed.
    The lifetime impact of these types of violence on victims is 
extensive. Nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men in the United States 
have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate 
partner and reported at least one impact related to experiencing these 
or other forms of violent behavior within the relationship (e.g., fear, 
concern for safety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom, 
injury, crisis hotline consult, at least one day of work or school 
missed, and needs for health care, housing, victim advocate, and legal 
services.)
    CDC proposes to continue collecting national data that will provide 
more detailed and timely information on intimate partner violence, 
sexual violence and stalking victimization in the U.S. The proposed 
revision to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey 
(NISVS) involves no longer collecting data on special sub-populations 
(i.e. military, American Indian/Alaskan Native, elderly) and thus 
focusing the scope of data collection to the general population. The 
overarching purpose of the information collected has not changed.
    A total of 73,318 eligible households will be screened annually; 
out of the households screened, approximately 58,318 will not consent 
or agree to participate and 15,000 will complete the survey each year. 
The survey will be conducted among English and/or Spanish speaking male 
and female adults (18 years and older) living in the United States.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
    The total estimated annual burden hours are 9,916.
