Proposed Project Pilot Implementation of the Violence Against Children and Youth Survey (VACS) in the United States—New— National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Violence against children is a global human rights violation that spans every country worldwide and affects a billion children each year. In the US, many youth are the victims of multiple forms E:\FR\FM\07JAN1.SGM 07JAN1 1112 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 4 / Thursday, January 7, 2021 / Notices of violence and abuse. An estimated 10 million children in the US have experienced child abuse and neglect. Each day, about a dozen youth are victims of homicide and more than 100 times that number (∼1,400) are treated annually in emergency rooms for physical assault injuries. Youth are also involved in high levels of peer violence, which is one of the leading causes of death for people ages 10–24. A body of research has shown that the impact of violence against children goes far beyond the initial incident, and that those who have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual violence can experience severe short to long-term health and social consequences. Given the serious and lasting impact on children, it is critical to understand the magnitude and nature of violence against children in order to develop effective prevention and response strategies. Currently, data to guide state and local violence prevention and response efforts in the United States are quite limited. While some studies have provided information on the risks and impact on violence against children, they are mostly limited in scale and cannot be generalized to the scope of violence against youth across the US or for specific regions. VACS is a methodology which CDC has conducted in 24 countries globally to measure the magnitude of physical, sexual, and emotional violence against children as well as associated risk and protective factors. VACS has contributed to research throughout the world, demonstrating the high prevalence of violence against children in a variety of countries and cultures, and have proven to be critical tools that can fill data gaps in ways that are vital to informing strategic planning and evidence-based public health efforts in many countries. However, VACS have not been implemented in the U.S., and the existing representative datasets of violence against youth in the U.S. have significant limitations that prevent the data from being actionable for prevention planning by public health departments at the local level. VACS in the U.S will help fill this gap with rigorous probability-based estimates of the problem of youth violence combined with an internationally tested approach to embed the VACS survey into the local strategic planning process of local public health partners. The present project will implement a pilot testing for the adapted VACS survey and methodology in two contexts: (1) a representative sample of 13–24 year old youth in Baltimore and (2) a convenience sample of 13–24 year old youth in rural Garrett County, Maryland to test the VACS in-person methodology in a rural location. Data will be collected through in-person probability-based household surveys, which will be conducted using a combination of intervieweradministration and Audio ComputerAssisted Self-Interview Software on tablets. Data will be analyzed using statistical software to account for the complexity of the survey design to compute weighted counts, percentages, and confidence intervals using probability-based survey data at the local level. The findings from this pilot study will be used primarily to better understand the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing VACS in the U.S., which will ultimately determine the magnitude of violence against children and underlying risk and protective factors in order to make recommendations to national and international agencies and non-governmental organizations on developing strategies to identify, treat and prevent violence against children.

Proposed Project

    Pilot Implementation of the Violence Against Children and Youth 
Survey (VACS) in the United States--New--National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Violence against children is a global human rights violation that 
spans every country worldwide and affects a billion children each year. 
In the US, many youth are the victims of multiple forms

[[Page 1112]]

of violence and abuse. An estimated 10 million children in the US have 
experienced child abuse and neglect. Each day, about a dozen youth are 
victims of homicide and more than 100 times that number (~1,400) are 
treated annually in emergency rooms for physical assault injuries.
    Youth are also involved in high levels of peer violence, which is 
one of the leading causes of death for people ages 10-24. A body of 
research has shown that the impact of violence against children goes 
far beyond the initial incident, and that those who have experienced 
emotional, physical, and sexual violence can experience severe short to 
long-term health and social consequences. Given the serious and lasting 
impact on children, it is critical to understand the magnitude and 
nature of violence against children in order to develop effective 
prevention and response strategies. Currently, data to guide state and 
local violence prevention and response efforts in the United States are 
quite limited. While some studies have provided information on the 
risks and impact on violence against children, they are mostly limited 
in scale and cannot be generalized to the scope of violence against 
youth across the US or for specific regions.
    VACS is a methodology which CDC has conducted in 24 countries 
globally to measure the magnitude of physical, sexual, and emotional 
violence against children as well as associated risk and protective 
factors. VACS has contributed to research throughout the world, 
demonstrating the high prevalence of violence against children in a 
variety of countries and cultures, and have proven to be critical tools 
that can fill data gaps in ways that are vital to informing strategic 
planning and evidence-based public health efforts in many countries. 
However, VACS have not been implemented in the U.S., and the existing 
representative datasets of violence against youth in the U.S. have 
significant limitations that prevent the data from being actionable for 
prevention planning by public health departments at the local level. 
VACS in the U.S will help fill this gap with rigorous probability-based 
estimates of the problem of youth violence combined with an 
internationally tested approach to embed the VACS survey into the local 
strategic planning process of local public health partners.
    The present project will implement a pilot testing for the adapted 
VACS survey and methodology in two contexts: (1) a representative 
sample of 13-24 year old youth in Baltimore and (2) a convenience 
sample of 13-24 year old youth in rural Garrett County, Maryland to

collected through in-person probability-based household surveys, which

Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview Software on tablets. Data will 
be analyzed using statistical software to account for the complexity of 
the survey design to compute weighted counts, percentages, and 
confidence intervals using probability-based survey data at the local 
level.

understand the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing VACS in 
the U.S., which will ultimately determine the magnitude of violence 
against children and underlying risk and protective factors in order to 
make recommendations to national and international agencies and non-
governmental organizations on developing strategies to identify, treat 
and prevent violence against children. CDC is requesting three years 
approval from OMB for this collection with a total estimated annualized 
burden of 800 hours There are no costs to respondents other than their 
time.
