Proposed Project

    DELTA FOCUS Program Evaluation--New--National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a serious, preventable public 
health problem that affects millions of Americans and results in 
serious consequences for victims, families, and communities. IPV occurs 
between two people in a close relationship. The term ``intimate 
partner'' describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a 
current or former partner or spouse. IPV can impact health in many 
ways, including long-term health problems, emotional impacts, and links 
to negative health behaviors. IPV exists along a continuum from a 
single episode of violence to ongoing battering; many victims do not 
report IPV to police, friends, or family.
    The purpose of the DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention 
Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for 
Communities United with States) program is to promote the prevention of 
IPV through the implementation and evaluation of strategies that create 
a foundation for the development of practice-based evidence. By 
emphasizing primary prevention, this program will support comprehensive 
and coordinated approaches to IPV prevention. Each state domestic 
violence coalition is required to identify and fund one to two well-
organized, broad-based, active local coalitions (referred to as 
coordinated community responses or CCRs) that are already engaging in, 
or are at capacity to engage in, IPV primary prevention strategies 
affecting the structural determinants of health at the societal and/or 
community levels of the social ecological model. State Domestic 
Violence Coalitions (SDVCs) must facilitate and support local-level 
implementation and hire empowerment evaluators to support the 
evaluation of IPV prevention strategies by the CCRs. SDVCs must also 
implement and with their empowerment evaluators, evaluate state-level 
IPV prevention strategies.
    CDC seeks OMB approval for one year to collect information 
electronically from awardees, their CCRs and their empowerment 
evaluators. Data will be collected in year one and analyzed and 
disseminated in years two and three. A reinstatement request will be 
made to collect data in the fourth year of the program. Information 
will be collected using the DELTA FOCUS Program Evaluation Survey 
(referred to as DF Survey). The DF survey will collect information 
about SDVCs satisfaction with CDC efforts to support them; process, 
program and strategy implementation factors that affect their ability 
to meet the requirements of the funding opportunity announcement; 
prevention knowledge and use of the public health approach; and 
sustainability of prevention activities and successes.
    The DF Survey will be completed by 10 SDVC executive directors, 10 
SDVC project coordinators, 19 CCR project coordinators, and 10 SDVC 
empowerment evaluators and take a maximum of 1 hour to complete. The 
total estimated annualized burden is 49 hours.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
