Summary

These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.

This is a secondary data analysis of the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (ICPSR 36140). The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) includes lifetime and past-year measures of physical violence by intimate partners and sexual violence. This secondary data analysis focused on eight measures of physical violence by intimate partners and eight measures of sexual violence.

The collection contains 2 SPSS data files: lifetime-data.sav (n=16,507; 22 variables), which measures occurrences of physical and sexual violence over the respondent's lifetime, and pastyr-data.sav (n=4,150; 22 variables), which measure occurrences of physical and sexual violence over the past year. A syntax file is included in the user guide.

Study Purpose

The primary objectives of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) were to describe (1) the prevalence and characteristics of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence; (2) who is most likely to experience these forms of violence; (3) the patterns and impact of the violence experienced by specific perpetrators; and (4) the health consequences of these forms of violence.

Study Design

The lifetime and past year data were extracted from Dataset 3 of ICPSR 36140. This is the final respondent-level data file that includes 21,378 observations and 493 variables. Respondents were selected if they were in the general population sample and had completed the sexual violence section of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) interview (n = 16,507). This eliminated the respondents that were in the American Indian and Alaska Native oversample (n = 3,329). It also eliminated the respondents who had not completed the sexual violence section of the interview (n = 1,542).

Sample

Data were originally collected using a dual-frame, stratified random digit dial (RDD) sampling design. Details are available from ICPSR 36140 and 34305.

Time Method

Cross-sectional

Universe

Non-institutionalized adult population of the United States with landline telephones whose numbers were in telephone exchanges where at least 50 percent of the population was estimated to be American Indian and Alaska Native and non-institutionalized English and/or Spanish-speaking adults aged 18 or older in the 50 states and District of Columbia.

Mode of Data Collection

Description of Variables

Both data sets contain physical violence by intimate partner variables: whether or not respondent had experienced being hit with a fist or something hard, being kicked, being hurt by having hair pulled, being slammed against something, being hurt by being choked or suffocated, being beaten, being burned on purpose, and having a knife or gun used. The sexual violence variables included whether or not respondent was made to have vaginal sex, receive anal sex, perform oral sex, and receive oral sex when the respondents were unable to consent because they were drunk, high, drugged, or passed out. They also included these measures when perpetrators used physical force or threats of physical harm. Demographic variables include respondent's gender.

Response Rates

The overall weighted response rate for the 2010 data collection for NISVS ranged from 27.5 percent to 33.6 percent.
