A critical need exists for a national
surveillance system that will produce frequent, consistent, and
reliable data on the magnitude and nature of intimate partner
violence (IPV), sexual violence (SV), and stalking using consistent
definitions and survey methods to evaluate trends over time. To
address this need, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
(CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), in
collaboration with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), and the
Department of Defense (DoD) has developed the National Intimate
Partner and Sexual Violence Surveillance System (NISVSS). The
collaborative effort between agencies is motivated by the need to
improve the understanding of IPV, SV, and stalking in the civilian,
military, and American Indian/Alaska Native populations. The survey
will be conducted among English and/or Spanish speaking male and
female adults (18 years and older) living in the United States.
NISVSS will collect population-based surveillance data, generating
stable and precise annual prevalence estimates for IPV, SV, and
stalking victimization at the national level. Lifetime, 12 month
and 36 month prevalence data will be collected. As data collection
continues across multiple years, sample sizes will increase and
stable state-level lifetime prevalence data will also be available
for both women and men. During the first year data will also be
collected from: 1) female members of the active duty component of
the US Armed Forces; and 2) female spouses of married male service
members. NISVSS data will help inform public policies and
prevention strategies at both the national and state levels and
will help guide and evaluate progress toward reducing the
substantial health and social burden associated with IPV, SV, and
stalking.
