Proposed Project 

National Intimate Partner Violence 

Survey—New—National Center for 

Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is 

considered by many to be a serious 

problem. CDC considers IPV to be a 

‘‘substantial public health problem for 

Americans that has serious 

consequences and cost to individuals, 

families, communities and society.’’ The 

past twenty years have witnessed an 

extraordinary growth in research on the 

prevalence, incidence, causes and 

effects of IPV. Various disciplines have 

contributed to the development of 

research on the subject including 

psychology, epidemiology, criminology 

and public health. 

Still, there is a lack of reliable 

information on the prevalence of IPV 

and on trends over time. Estimates vary 

widely regarding the magnitude of the 

problem. This variance is due in large 

part to the different methods that are 

used to measure IPV and the context in 

which questions are asked about IPV. 

Thus, CDC is engaged in work to 

improve the quality of data, and hence 

knowledge about IPV. Part of this 

process includes comparing various 

ways of introducing questions about IPV 

and comparing information obtained 

from both men and women when 

questions about IPV victimization and 

perpetration are asked in differing order. 

The purpose of this project is to 

administer questions, via telephone 

interviews, that measure both 

victimization and perpetration for 

various forms of intimate partner 

violence (IPV) including stalking, sexual 

violence, physical violence, and 

emotional control. The questions will be 

administered to a random sample of 

1500 men and 1500 women ages 18–50. 

The survey instrument has been 

developed specifically for this study. 

The overall benefit of this project is to 

determine the optimal order for asking 

questions about IPV victimization and 

perpetration and to compare and select 

the most useful context for introducing 

IPV questions (i.e., health vs. crime vs.

family conflict). Ultimately, this 

knowledge will assist the CDC in 

establishing an ongoing data collection 

system for monitoring IPV victimization 

and perpetration. CDC, National Center 

for Injury Prevention and Control 

(NCIPC) intends to contract with an 

agency to conduct the survey. The only 

cost to the respondents is the time 

involved to complete the survey.

Proposed Project 

Evaluation and Assessment of the 

Effectiveness of Activities Supporting 

Fire Prevention and Safety—New—

National Center for Injury Prevention 

and Control (NCIPC), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

This project will evaluate the effect of 

fire safety and prevention education for 

second grade children and identify 

program components that contribute to 

successful outcomes. The fire safety 

prevention education programs are 

delivered by fire department personnel 

and funded by the United States Fire 

Administration’s (USFA) Assistance to 

Firefighters Grant Program (AFGP). 

Deaths from fires and burns are the sixth 

most common cause of unintentional 

injury-related deaths in the United 

States with over three-fourths of firerelated deaths and three-fourths of firerelated injuries resulting from house 

fires. Children are particularly at high 

risk for injury with residential fire death 

rates approximately two times that of 

adult age groups. The prevention 

programs that are funded by AFGP 

provide local fire departments with 

resources to conduct fire safety 

education for elementary school 

children. None of these programs has 

been systematically evaluated to 

determine impact on fire safety 

knowledge, skills, and behaviors. The 

proposed project does not assume a 

direct link from knowledge, skills, and 

behaviors to reductions in fire death 

rates; however, these intermediate 

outcomes may predispose and enable 

children to protect themselves from firerelated injury. 

Children’s knowledge, skills, and 

behaviors will be studied as a function 

of time (pre-, immediate post-, and 6 

month post-), geographic setting (urban, 

rural, suburban) and instructional 

format (classroom, safety trailer, 

classroom + safety trailer, none). The 

design used in this study is a 3 × 4 

factorial design with repeated measures. 

A survey will be used to assess 

children’s fire safety knowledge, skills, 

and behaviors. Information will also be 

collected from the children’s parents on 

fire safety activities within the home. 

Teachers, school administrators, and 

the fire fighters delivering the program 

will complete surveys to gather 

information on messages delivered, 

props used, and possible additional 

exposures to fire safety education. 

Information will also be collected 

regarding the school and Fire 

Department personnel’s perception of 

program sustainability and the 

relationship between the Fire 

Department and school. The only cost to 

the respondents is the time involved to 

complete the survey.
