Background and Brief Description In 2010, the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Surveillance System (NISVSS) reported that approximately 6.9 million women and 5.6 million men experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner within the last year. The health care costs of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) exceed $5.8 billion each year, nearly $3.9 billion of which is for direct medical and mental health care services. In order to address this important public health problem, CDC implemented, beginning in 2010, the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Surveillance System that produces national and state level estimates of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), Sexual Violence (SV) and stalking on an annual basis. This revision request is multi-faceted. CDC is requesting a continuation of data collection among non-institutionalized to improve both survey design (methods, sampling frame, recruitment, mode of administration) and content/ question wording with the goals of increasing response rates, reducing nonresponse bias, and maximizing the opportunities across Federal surveys for covering populations of interest. This change request also encompasses the implementation of the panel’s recommendations to improve the survey. In the bi-annual data collection periods, total of 170,000 households will be screened. After determining eligibility and consent, 25,000 will complete the survey. The average burden per screened respondent remains at three minutes (total burden in hours equals 8,500) while the average burden per surveyed respondent is 25 minutes (total burden in hours equals 10,417). The survey will be conducted among English or Spanish speaking male and female adults (18 years and older) living in the United States. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. adult men and women aged 18 years or older in the United States assessing lifetime experiences of IPV, SV and stalking with a new and improved data collection tool. The revisions to the survey are aimed at reducing the time and complexity of the instrument, thus reducing the burden on the respondent. The simplified structure of the instrument will also reduce the complexity of the data set, making it more assessable for public use. Additionally, in collaboration with the Department of Defense (DoD), NISVS will collect information regarding the experiences of IPV, SV and stalking among active duty women and men in the military and wives of active duty men. This data collection will take place during the first three months of data collection. To comply with OMB requirements, CDC is in the process of developing an expert panel to address methodological issues with the NISVS survey. The panel will meet multiple times over the course of the next year. The members of this panel will provide guidance on how ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Average burden per response (in hours) Number of responses per respondent Number of respondents Total burden hours Type of respondent Form name Non-Participating Individuals (Screened).
