this area. Members of the general public are also invited to view the

IPV trends?

address IPV?
<bullet> How and when can we best engage organizations around IPV
in the future?
<bullet> What are your organization's suggestions on including
perspectives of underserved communities?
<bullet> What has worked well in your collaboration with government
agencies and offices around IPV? Conversely, what is one key barrier
you encountered?
<bullet> How can we improve trust with the communities you
represent, work most closely with, and/or advocate on behalf of?
<bullet> What is your top priority related to the impact of COVID-
19 on IPV?
<bullet> What should we continue to focus on?
<bullet> Are there any missed opportunities?
<bullet> How do you think we can best provide access to information
related to COVID-19's impact on IPV?
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: One recent study in the Journal of Interpersonal
Violence revealed 64 percent of individuals who experienced IPV since
the start of the COVID-19 pandemic reported that violence was a new
characteristic of their relationship (Peitzmeier 2021).
We invite organizations who work with victims of IPV; Federal,
State, local, and tribal public health officials; and law enforcement
to provide insights into the current state of IPV and the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on IPV. Members of the general public are also
invited to view the session.
Topics for Listening Session: The listening session is an
opportunity for the HHS OWH to hear what individual stakeholders and
subject matter experts are experiencing with regard to the pandemic's
influence on IPV, what we should consider when providing assistance or
programming, how to include the perspectives of underserved
communities, and what stakeholders see as the top priorities in
addressing IPV.
II. Participation: The meeting is free and open to the public.
Registration is required. Details on how to register for this listening
session can be found at the top of the Notice.
Listening Session Availability: A recording of the listening
session will be posted to the OWH YouTube channel, and a transcript of
the listening session will be posted at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.
