Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted
the following information collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in
[[Page 29267]]
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the
proposed information collection is published to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to

Proposed Project
The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS)
(OMB Control No. 0920-0822, expiration date 6/30/2016)--Revision --
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is a revision request for the currently approved National
Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS). OMB approval is
requested for three years.
In 2010, NISVS 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 IPV, Sexual Violence (SV) and stalking on an annual
basis. CDC is requesting a continuation of data collection among non-
institutionalized 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.
Data collected are used by local, state and national governments
and organizations to inform prevention programs and policy making
related to intimate partner violence, sexual violence and stalking.
This data collection will take place during the first three months of
data collection. Data are analyzed using appropriate statistical
software to account for the complexity of the survey design to compute
weighted counts, percentages, confidence intervals using both national
and state level data.
To comply with OMB requirements, CDC is 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 to improve both survey design
(methods, sampling frame, recruitment, mode of administration) and
content/question wording with the goals of increasing response rates,
reducing non-response bias, and maximizing the opportunities across
Federal surveys for covering populations of interest. The survey will
be conducted among English or Spanish speaking male and female adults
(18 years and older) living in the United States. The estimated annual
burden hours are 27,106. There are no extra costs to respondents.
