Proposed Project

    Understanding Relationship Dynamics and Conflict Survey--New--
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a substantial public health 
problem in the United States. Over a third of women and over a quarter 
of men have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an 
intimate partner (Black, et al., 2011). Recognition of the importance 
and prevalence of this issue has fueled research to examine the causes, 
correlates, and outcomes of IPV over the past several decades.
    The proposed data collection will be used to identify classes of 
IPV perpetrators based on shared characteristics such as their personal 
attributes, risk factors, relationship characteristics, and 
characteristics of the violence they commit. The study will collect 
information to ascertain which factors or groups of factors may 
influence violence perpetration that occurs within adult intimate 
partner relationships.
    Data will be collected through an online screener of up to 8,600 
respondents and survey of 2,000 Mechanical Turk (MT) workers and an

[[Page 18650]]

in-person survey of 210 incarcerated individuals. A purposive sample of 
participants will be chosen from each group. Gay and lesbian 
individuals will be oversampled in the MT group. The incarcerated group 
will be equally stratified if individuals are intimate partner violence 
(IPV) offenders or not. Data analysis will include a combination of 
Factor Analysis and Latent Profile Analysis.
    OMB approval is requested for two years for this new collection. 
Findings from this data collection will be used to understand and 
identify classes of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators based 
on shared characteristics such as their personal attributes, risk 
factors, relationship characteristics, and characteristics of the 
violence they commit.
    The estimated annual burden hours are 1,322. There are no costs to 
respondents.
