NISVS Data on IPV: Implications for Prevention
In February 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a new report on intimate partner violence (IPV) based on data from the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS). Intimate Partner Violence in the United States – 2010 presents detailed information describing the public health burden of IPV including an in-depth look at its scope and its negative impacts and long-term health consequences. The report provides helpful data to inform comprehensive prevention approaches across the lifespan.
For a full discussion about the findings of this report and its implications for prevention, access materials from the PreventConnect web conference held on March 26, 2014. Presenters included Matthew Breiding of the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control and Janelle Moos of CAWS North Dakota and the IPV Prevention Council.
