respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: New survey.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: ``National Study of
Interpersonal Violence Experienced by Young Adults.''
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The applicable component
within the U.S. Department of Justice is the National Institute of
Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: In the fiscal year (FY) 2023, the National
Institute of Justice (NIJ) awarded Westat, a professional research
services organization, along with their partners at New York University
and the University of Cincinnati, to implement the ``National Study of
Interpersonal Violence Experienced by Young Adults'' pilot (Jan. 1,
2024-December 31, 2025), which will inform the implementation of the
full multi-year project expected to begin in FY2026.
The ``National Study of Interpersonal Violence Experienced by Young
Adults,'' also known as the Long IVY study, is a critically needed,
nationally representative, longitudinal panel survey of interpersonal
violence among young adults (ages 18-24) who do and do not attend
college. It will examine trajectories of risk and protective factors
(at the individual, family, and community levels, including exposure to
community violence) that predict victimization and perpetration of
interpersonal violence and the recovery of those victimized.
Interpersonal violence comprises (1) physical and psychological
intimate partner violence, (2) nonconsensual sexual contact, and (3)
stalking by current and former intimate partners and non-partners. The
study design includes recruiting 17,000 young adults with a goal of
retaining 10,000 in the final sample after five annual data collection
waves (and interim micro assessments) across six years. The first
survey will be administered in the fall of the school year after the
participant's high school class graduates, and the final survey will be
administered after they turn 23.
At a stage of the lifespan when we are most vulnerable to
interpersonal violence, this study will address gaps in knowledge about
the experiences of young adults not engaged in post-secondary education
and the differences in experiences between groups. The innovative
emphasis on identifying risk and protective factors over time will
provide new evidence about how best to prevent interpersonal violence,
for whom, which subpopulations are most in need of victimization
services, and what factors accelerate healing and wellness for those
who've been harmed.
The Study of Interpersonal Violence among Young Adults Pilot
Project (the current study) will recruit a national probability sample
of approximately 5,000 young adults with a goal of retaining 150-168
after a one-time data collection in response to the recruitment form.
The form will be administered in the spring/summer of the recruitment
year, 2025, and respondents must have either graduated high school or
are no longer in high school. Respondents must be age 18 in order to be
eligible for recruitment.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The pilot study's
estimated range of burden for respondents is expected to be between 8
and 14 minutes for completion. Based on instrument testing results, an
average of 12 minutes per respondent is expected to be spent. The
following factors were considered when creating the burden estimate:
the estimated total number of respondents. NIJ estimates that
approximately 168 respondents will fully complete the questionnaire,
yielding a modified response rate of 55%.
6. An estimate of the total public burden associated with the pilot
data collection: For the pilot study, the estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 567 hours, which includes the time
it takes each of the expected respondents to open all mailing materials
and complete the questionnaire. It is estimated that each of the 168
respondents will take 12 minutes, on average, to complete the
questionnaire. See the table below for calculations.
