Background and Brief Description

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a substantial public health 
problem in the United States. Over a third of women and over a quarter 
of men have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an 
intimate partner. Recognition of the importance and prevalence of this 
issue has fueled research to examine the causes, correlates, and 
outcomes of IPV over the past several decades. However, studies across 
various IPV research domains (e.g., etiology, prevention efficacy and 
intervention effectiveness) tend to view IPV as an isolated occurrence 
and rarely consider the contextual situation in which IPV occurs. For 
example, existing models may not distinguish between an act of physical 
violence perpetrated during an argument from an act of physical 
violence perpetrated as a constellation of physical, sexual, and 
psychological violence by one partner toward another for the purpose of 
dominating and controlling that partner.
    To that end, we need more information about the factors or groups 
of factors that influence violence perpetration within adult intimate 
partner relationships. This project will take a critical first step by 
collecting information from adults in the United States about their 
attitudes, perceptions, beliefs and experiences with violence in 
intimate relationships. In the future, this information can help 
develop a standardized measurement scheme that will distinguish among 
different contextual forms of IPV perpetration so that effective 
violence prevention strategies can be targeted and implemented.
    The respondent universe consists of 2,210 adults (18 years or 
older) from two populations: The general population who live in the 
United States and incarcerated individuals who live in Indiana. Half of 
the incarcerated group will have an IPV-related offense record and half 
will not. Data will be collected through an online survey of Mechanical 
Turk (MT) workers and an in-person survey of incarcerated individuals. 
Data analysis will include a combination of Factor Analysis and Latent 
Profile Analysis.
    CDC will seek a two-year approval from the Office of for this new 
collection. There are no cost to respondents other than their time 
spent responding to the survey/screener.
