Effects of Intimate Partner Violence on the Workplace in the United States, 2005-2008 (ICPSR 26041)

Released/updated on: 2014-06-30

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2005-06-01--2008-08-01

This research, which was conducted in two phases, explored the effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on the workplace between 2005 and 2008. Phase One (Dataset 1, Phase One Data) examined the prevalence of IPV among employed individuals, how IPV affects the personal and professional well-being of employees, and its costs for employers. Researchers focused on two research questions:

Does IPV affect employees, and, if so, how?
What is the impact of IPV on organizations?

Phase Two (Dataset 2, Phase Two Data) focused more specifically on the interactions between employed IPV victims and their coworkers, focusing on the following questions:

Does work-related social support have positive effects on the well-being, attitudes, and behaviors of employed IPV victims?
How and when will coworkers provide assistance to IPV victims at work?
When and to whom will IPB victims disclose their victimization at work?
What organizational conditions are associated with stronger feelings of hopefulness on the part of employed IPB victims?

Released/updated on: 2023-10-12

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2022-07-20--2022-07-28

The purpose of this study was to better understand the protective factors most critical to resilience and financial wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for women in the United States experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). The specific aims of this study were to: (1) Develop a conceptual model for economic resilience based on the Resilience Portfolio Model developed by Grych et al.; and (2) examine which economic resilience protective factors were most associated with IPV survivor health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project used a web survey design with quantitative data collected from 576 survivors through Qualtrics Panel Service in July 2022.

Intergenerational Study of Parents and Children, 1962-1993: [Detroit] (ICPSR 9902)

Released/updated on: 2005-11-04

Geographic coverage: Detroit, United States, Michigan

Time period: 1962-01-01--1993-01-01

This data collection provides information on family formation and dissolution among young adults. Families who had given birth to their first, second, or fourth child in 1961 comprised the group of Detroit-area Caucasian couples who were interviewed and surveyed over the period 1962-1993. The resulting longitudinal study encompasses seven waves of data collected from mothers across the entire span of their offspring's childhood. Included are demographic, social, and economic information about the parental family, information about the attitudes, values, and behavior of both the mother and the father, and information about the mother's desires and expectations for her child's education, career attainments, and marriage. The collection also offers three waves of interview data collected from the children at ages 18 through 23. These data describe the young adults' attitudes and values, their expectations for school, work, marriage, and childbearing, and their perceptions of their parents' willingness to be of assistance to them. Life history calendar files for 1985 and 1993 detail the young adults' periods of cohabitation, marriage, separation, divorce, childbearing, living arrangements, education, paid employment, and military service.

National Supported Work Evaluation Study, 1975-1979: Public Use Files (ICPSR 7865)

Released/updated on: 2009-02-02

Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, California, Oakland, New York (state), New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York City, Atlanta, Illinois, Connecticut, Hartford, Georgia, Wisconsin, Philadelphia

Time period: 1975-01-01--1979-01-01

This study is an evaluation of the National Supported Work Demonstration project, a transitional, subsidized work experience program for four target groups of people with longstanding employment problems: ex-offenders, former drug addicts, women who were long-term recipients of welfare benefits, and school dropouts, many with criminal records. The program provided up to 12-18 months of employment to about 10,000 individuals at 15 locations across the country for four years. In ten of these sites -- Atlanta, Chicago, Hartford, Jersey City, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, Oakland, San Francisco, and Wisconsin, 6,600 eligible applicants were randomly assigned either to experimental groups (offered a job in supported work) or to control groups, and an evaluation was conducted on the effects of the Supported Work Program. At the time of enrollment, each respondent was given a retrospective baseline interview, generally covering the previous two years, followed by up to four follow-up interviews scheduled at nine-month intervals. Two public use files were originally distributed for this data collection: Supported Work Employment and Earnings File, and Supported Work Deviant Behavior File. Each file contained data for up to five interviews, a cross-document dataset and an Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients follow-up. The Employment and Earnings File contains data from all interview modules except the drug and crime sections, and the Deviant Behavior File contains all variables on the Employment and Earnings File as well as additional information on drugs and crime. Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients were further asked about children in school and welfare participation, while all non-AFDC respondents were questioned about any extralegal activities. Demographic items specify age, sex, race, marital status, education, number of children, employment history, job search, job training, mobility, household income, welfare assistance, housing, military discharge status, and drug use. Each respondent has up to six logical, fixed-length records, with each record corresponding to a completed interview (up to five) and one additional short "cross-document" record. A User's Guide describing the collection and its components is available and should be read before the collection or any part of it is ordered.

Testing and Validating Financial Measures with Intimate Partner Violence Survivors, New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico, 2018-2020 (ICPSR 37947)

Released/updated on: 2021-05-26

Geographic coverage: Puerto Rico, United States, New York (state), New Jersey

Time period: 2017-11-01--2020-01-31

Economic empowerment is a promising intervention to address intimate partner violence (IPV). Recently, financial education programs have been developed and tested with survivors of IPV. However, only a few rigorous evaluations of economic empowerment interventions exist with survivors of IPV in the U.S., and none assess the language and cultural differences among Spanish-speaking survivors.

This study tested and validated measures related to financial empowerment and partner violence with English and Spanish-speaking IPV survivors to address this gap. The specific objectives of the project were to: (1) Test and revise financial and abuse scales which were pre-existing or adapted from scales used in the general population for use with IPV survivors in both English and Spanish utilizing a secondary dataset, and (2) Further test and validate measures analyzed as part of Objective One with a similar sample of IPV survivors in both English and Spanish to determine if these scales are appropriate for use with IPV populations.

This study was conducted in two phases to address each of its objectives. The first objective was completed during Phase I, and the second objective during Phase II. Data for Phase II was gathered through individual interviews, either face-to-face or over the phone. Interviewers used a structured questionnaire, with the nine financial and abuse scales, in the participant's preferred language, English or Spanish. These nine scales were:

Financial Knowledge Scale - to determine survivors' knowledge about financial management.
Financial Management Attitudes Scale - to determine survivors' attitudes about financial management.
Scale of Economic Self-Efficacy - to determine survivors' confidence in their financial management abilities.
Scale of Financial Behaviors - to determine survivors' actual financial management behaviors.
Scale of Financial Intentions - to determine survivors' intentions to perform particular financial behaviors.
Scale of Economic Self-Sufficiency - to determine survivors' abilities to accomplish financial tasks.
Financial Strain Survey - to determine survivors' strain in managing their financial health.
Abusive Behavior Inventory - to determine survivors' experiences with physical, emotional, and sexual violence.
Scale of Economic Abuse-12 - to determine survivors' experiences with economic abuse.

In addition, the questionnaire gathered demographic information including: age, ethnicity, employment status, education level, marital status, and annual income.
