Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404-498-1210 or
send comments to Seleda Perryman, CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-E11, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail
to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Written comments should be received
within 60 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
National Intimate Partner Violence Survey--New--National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is considered by many to be a
serious problem. CDC considers IPV to be a ``substantial public health
problem for Americans that has serious consequences and cost to
individuals, families, communities and society.'' The past twenty years
have witnessed an extraordinary growth in research on the prevalence,
incidence, causes and effects of IPV. Various disciplines have
contributed to the development of research on the subject including
psychology, epidemiology, criminology and public health.
Still, there is a lack of reliable information on the prevalence of
IPV and on trends over time. Estimates vary widely regarding the
magnitude of the problem. This variance is due in large part to the
different methods that are used to measure IPV and the context in which
questions are asked about IPV. Thus, CDC is engaged in work to improve
the quality of data, and hence knowledge about IPV. Part of this
process includes comparing various ways of introducing questions about
IPV and comparing information obtained from both men and women when
questions about IPV victimization and perpetration are asked in
differing order.
The purpose of this project is to administer questions, via
telephone interviews, that measure both victimization and perpetration
for various forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) including
stalking, sexual violence, physical violence, and emotional control.
The questions will be administered to a random sample of 1500 men and
1500 women ages 18-50. The survey instrument has been developed
specifically for this study.
The overall benefit of this project is to determine the optimal
order for asking questions about IPV victimization and perpetration and
to compare and select the most useful context for introducing IPV
questions (i.e., health vs. crime vs. family conflict). Ultimately,
this knowledge will assist the CDC in establishing an ongoing data
collection system for monitoring IPV victimization and perpetration.
CDC, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) intends
to contract with an agency to conduct the survey. The only cost to the
respondents is the time involved to complete the survey.
