Proposed Project
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) National Media Campaign--Choose
Respect--Renewal--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Intimate partner and sexual violence is a significant problem in
the United States. According to the National Violence against Women
Survey, an intimate partner physically assaults or rapes approximately
1.5 million women and 850,000 men in the United States each year. Many
more individuals are subjected to threats of violence and psychological
and emotional abuse. Alarmingly, intimate partner violence (IPV)
behaviors are manifested in youth populations. The literature suggests
that attitudes and behaviors can be shaped and reinforced more easily
and more effectively as individuals are developing in youth than after
they have been firmly established. To begin to address IPV and sexual
violence in youth populations, the CDC's NCIPC has developed a media
campaign entitled, ``Choose Respect.'' The campaign targets prevailing
norms that support victimization and perpetration of violence against
women. Because attitudes and behaviors related to IPV begin to manifest
early on, CDC will focus its efforts on early adolescents, and on the
people who influence them.
This project will implement and evaluate the Choose Respect
Campaign in a national roll-out in twelve states: Arizona, California,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North
Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Washington D.C. The campaign will
target youth as the primary audience and parents and teachers as
secondary audiences. A
[[Page 74320]]
baseline and post-campaign survey will be conducted with adolescents,
their parents and their teachers to determine outcomes of the campaign
including attitudes, beliefs and intended behaviors toward IPV and
sexual violence both before and after implementation of the campaign.
The baseline information collected prior to the campaign launch will
assist CDC in tailoring the communication materials to each of the
middle schools and community groups selected from the target markets.
The evaluation will then utilize these baseline measures along with the
information collected following implementation to assess the campaign's
success at decreasing IPV-tolerant attitudes, increasing the
identification of appropriate ways to respond in situations that could
lead to IPV, and increasing the awareness of resources to help
facilitate discussions about appropriate dating behavior.
The pre-post research design of this campaign evaluation will aid
CDC in assessing the changes in attitudes, beliefs and behaviors
associated with the campaign.
The goal of CDC's Media Campaign, Choose Respect, is to increase
the perception among adolescents that any form of violence between
intimate partners, whether physical, verbal or sexual is considered
inappropriate and unacceptable. There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
