The Pilot Study Examining Interpersonal Violence Experienced By Young Adults will recruit a national probability sample of approximately 5,000 young adults with a goal of having a total of 150-300 individuals who respond to the survey. The survey will be administered in the summer of the recruitment year, 2026, and respondents must have either graduated from high school or be no longer in high school. Respondents must be at least 18 years old to be eligible for recruitment.
The goals of this study are to pilot test a survey instrument and recruitment methods to examine interpersonal violence (IV) among college-aged persons (ages 18-24) in order to better understand the risks for, experiences with, and consequences of IV among young adults. Of particular interest are the differences between the victimization and perpetration of those who do and do not attend college. The survey will be designed to examine a range of IV committed by partners, family members,
acquaintances, and strangers, including nonconsensual sexual contact, intimate partner violence, and stalking. At a stage of the lifespan when we are most vulnerable to interpersonal violence this study could address gaps in knowledge about the experiences of young adults not engaged in post-secondary education and the differences in experiences between groups.
