INTRODUCTION
Information for Recipients:
Please note that the term "Coalition" refers to your State Domestic Violence Coalition (SDVC). This survey has
been sent to you as the Project Lead on the DELTA AHEAD project for your SDVC. However, you may complete
the survey with any other Coalition staff that you feel would be appropriate. Please submit only ONE survey per
Coalition.
Primary Prevention refers to activities and strategies that keep intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic
violence (DV) from first occurring.
Community and Societal Level IPV Prevention refers to prevention strategies that are designed to impact
characteristics of the settings (e.g., school, workplace, and neighborhood) in which social relationships occur, or
social and physical environment factors such as reducing social isolation, improving economic and housing
opportunities, and improving climate within school and workplace settings. This is different from individual level
strategies (usually designed to promote attitudes, beliefs, skills, and behaviors) and relationship level strategies
(focus on parenting, family, mentoring, or peers to reduce conflict, foster problem-solving skills, promote healthy

Att. 5 - PIA

relationships, and address factors related to the social circle, peers, partners, family members and other adult
allies who influence an individual behavior and experience).
Program staff refers to any staff at your coalition that work on any programs, practices or policy efforts of the
coalition including response. It would not include staff that are only involved in administrative or operational
tasks at the Coalition
Risk factor refers to a characteristic that increases the likelihood of a person becoming a victim or perpetrator of
violence. Factors that put individuals at risk for perpetrating IPV include (but are not limited to) demographic
factors such as age, low income, low educational attainment, and unemployment; childhood history factors such
as exposure to violence between parents, experiencing poor parenting, and experiencing child abuse and neglect.
Relationship level factors include hostility or conflict in the relationship, aversive family communication and
relationships, and having friends who perpetrate/experience IPV. Community and societal level factors include
poverty, low social capital, low collective efficacy in neighborhoods, and harmful gender norms in societies.
Protective factors are characteristics that decrease the likelihood of a person becoming a victim or perpetrator
of violence because they provide a buffer against risk. Factors associated with lower chances of perpetrating or
experiencing IPV include high empathy, good grades, high verbal IQ, a positive relationship with one’s mother,
and attachment to school. Community and societal factors such as lower alcohol density, community norms that
are intolerant of IPV, and increased economic opportunities may also be protective against IPV.
Health Equity refers to the attainment of the highest possible standard of health for all people and giving special
attention to the needs of those at greatest risk of poor health, based on social conditions. Health equity is the
state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health (CDC). Achieving
heath equity means valuing everyone equally with focused efforts to address avoidable inequities, historical and
contemporary injustices, and the elimination of health and healthcare disparities.
Social Determinants of Health refers to the conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn,
work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and
risks. Healthy People 2030 groups social determinants of health into 5 domains: economic stability, education
access and quality, health care access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, and social and
community context.

It should take you about 30 minutes to complete this survey.
