THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY USELESS PROGRAM. THE BUREAUCRATS SITTING AT THEIR DESKS IN WASHINGTON DC CAN DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THIS VIOLENCE. WASHINGTON IN FACT HAS BEENPROMOTINGVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN BY ALLOWING GUNS TO PROLIFERATE ALL OVER THIS LAND BECAUSE OF HE BIG MONEY OFTHE NATIONALRIFLEASSOCIATION. ENDLESS NUMBERS OF WOMEN HAVE BEEN SHOT TO DEATH IN VIOLENT EPISODES SO WASHINGTON DC CVAN TAKE THE CREDIT FOR ENCOURAGINGVIOLENCE,NOT SUBDUING IT.
THISWHOLE PROGRAM IS NOTHING BUT A HUGE WASTE. CLOSE IT DOWN. WASHINGTON IS NOT THE PLACE TO DO ANY GOOD ON THIS. LOCAL AND COUNTY PROGRAMS MAKE ALOT MORE SNSE TO USE THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS. DEFUND THISAGENCY NOW. IT ISNON PRODUCTIVE. JEAN PUBLIC 15 ELM ST FLORHAM PARK NJ 07932

Proposed Project

    Program Effectiveness Evaluation of Workplace Intervention for 
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)--[OMB 0920-0789] [expiration 
date 12/31/09]--Extension--National Center for Injury Prevention and 
Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    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 coworkers. The Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 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 corporate office 
of the corporation have been screened to assess training experiences. 
More in-depth surveys were conducted with managers who had not 
completed the corporation's IPV training. Approximately 200 managers 
have been surveyed at baseline, and 6 months later. Manager surveys 
focus on knowledge/awareness of IPV and company resources for IPV and 
number of referrals for IPV assistance. This extension is requested to 
cover the 12-month follow-up administration of this survey. Due to 
unexpected delays at the evaluation site and an inability to field the 
6-month follow up survey with managers when originally scheduled, the 
project will need to be continued an additional 3 months.
    Employees (N = 400) of those managers who completed the baseline 
survey using an anonymous web-based survey at baseline have been 
surveyed. These employees will also be surveyed 12 months later (during 
the reinstatement period) to assess their self-evaluated productivity, 
absenteeism, and perceptions of manager behavior. 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 will be compared. 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 except their time to participate 
in the interview.
