Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 32 / Thursday, February 19, 2009 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
CDC is planning to interview
Hispanic adolescents and their parents
at two high schools in Miami-Dade
County to facilitate the development of
targeted and culturally-appropriate HIV
prevention materials for Hispanic youth
in Miami-Dade County. The purpose of
the proposed study is to assess the
efficacy of Streamlined Familias Unidas,
a 5-session version of a longer
efficacious, parent-centered prevention
intervention developed specifically for
Hispanic families. 240 Hispanic
adolescents and their primary caregivers
(480 total participants) from two MiamiDade County public high schools will be
recruited and randomized into two
groups: (1) The streamlined 5-session
Familias Unidas intervention group, and
(2) a group that receives routine
information about HIV from the high
schools. Four times over 2 years, both
groups will respond to computerized
questionnaires that explore family
function, sexual behaviors, etc. These
assessment questionnaires will be
computer-based (ACASI). The
assessments are for the purpose of
developing and improving HIV
prevention materials and interventions
that are culturally appropriate to the
Hispanic population in Miami-Dade
County. Family functioning, substance
use, sexual behaviors, behavior
problems, and community values will
inform HIV intervention programs in
this community.
This study will address some of the
goals of CDC’s ‘‘CDC HIV Prevention
Strategic Plan: Extended Through
2010’’. CDC plans to meet specific goals
by increasing the number of behavior
prevention interventions proven
effective for Hispanic adolescents, and,
increasing the number of Hispanic
adolescents who consistently engage in
behaviors that reduce risk for acquiring
HIV. Additionally, the study data will
provide important information that will
aid in developing and improving HIV
prevention interventions for Hispanic
adolescents and their families.
Questionnaires will take from
approximately 45 min. (caregivers) to 60
minutes (adolescents) to complete.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
The National Intimate Partner and
Sexual Violence Surveillance System
(NISVSS), New, National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The health burden of Intimate Partner
Violence (IPV), Sexual Violence (SV)
and stalking are substantial.
Approximately 1.5 million women and
834,700 men are raped and/or
physically assaulted by an intimate
partner each year. Women are more
likely than men to be victimized by
almost every type of IPV, including
rape, physical assault, and stalking by a
current or former intimate partner. The
health care costs of IPV exceed $5.8
billion each year, nearly $3.9 billion of
which is for direct medical and mental
health care services.
SV also has a profound and long-term
impact on the physical and mental
health of the victim. Existing estimates
of lifetime experiences of rape range
E:\FR\FM\19FEN1.SGM
19FEN1
7696
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 32 / Thursday, February 19, 2009 / Notices
from 15% to 36% for females. Sexual
violence against men, although less
prevalent, is also a public health
problem; approximately 1 in 6 women
and 1 in 33 men have experienced an
attempted or completed rape in their
lifetime. Over 302,000 women and
92,000 men were raped in the past 12
months. Thirty percent of rape victims
experience major depressions at some
time in their lives; 33% of victimized
women and 24.2% of victimized men
are counseled by a health professional;
31% develop post traumatic stress
disorder; 33% contemplate suicide; and
13% attempt suicide.
Each year, approximately 1 million
women and 371,000 men in the United
States are stalked. There is a strong link
between stalking and other forms of
violence in intimate relationships; 81%
of women who were stalked by a current
or former intimate partner were also
physically assaulted by that partner and
31% were sexually assaulted by that
partner. Furthermore, 76% of female
victims of intimate partner homicides
were stalked by their partners before
they were killed.
Currently, the United States lacks a
national data source that systematically
and routinely collects valid and reliable
information on the magnitude and
trends in IPV, SV and stalking. Such a
system is needed to (1) Help formulate
public policies and prevention strategies
related to IPV, SV and stalking; (2) guide
and evaluate progress in reducing the
huge health and social burden
associated with IPV, SV and stalking;
and (3) improve the effectiveness of
federal agencies responding to IPV, SV
and stalking.
In order to address this important
public health problem, CDC plans to
develop a national surveillance system
that will generate national and state
level estimates of IPV, SV and stalking.
A total of 20,948 eligible households
will be screened; out of the households
screened 10,948 are estimated to
consent or agree to participate and
10,000 are estimated to complete the
survey each year. The survey will be
conducted among English and/or
Spanish speaking male and female
adults (18 years and older) living in the
United States. In addition, special
populations are also being targeted such
as an oversample of American Indian/
Alaska Native populations, female
active duty military service members
(first year of data collection only), and
female spouses of married male active
duty military service members (first year
of data collection only).
Each year, NISVSS will provide
precise and stable annual prevalence
estimates for IPV, SV, and stalking
victimization at the national level. As
data collection continues in subsequent
years, sample sizes will increase and
stable state-level lifetime prevalence
data will also be available for both
women and men in all states. All
information will be collected in a 20–25
minute anonymous interview conducted
over the telephone, using computerassisted telephone interviewing (CATI)
software. The use of CATI will reduce
respondent burden, reduce coding
errors, and increase efficiency and data
quality. Questions will be asked about
all forms of IPV victimization (including
physical aggression, psychological
aggression, and sexual violence); all
forms of SV victimization by any
perpetrator (including unwanted sexual
situations, abusive sexual contact, and
forced/nonconsensual sex [completed
and attempted]); and stalking
victimization by any perpetrator.
NISVSS will gather information
regarding experiences that occurred
across the lifespan and within the 12
and 36 months preceding the survey.
Such 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.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
