October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Measures

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue. Research related to the causes and consequences of IPV is vital to stopping violence and helping survivors.  The Add Health surveys include a number of questions related to IPV, and these have been asked at Waves II, III, and IV. Respondents answered questions about partner violence victimization and perpetration, as well as some criminal activity. For a listing of these questions, please use our ACE tool topic list and select Romantic Relationships>Intimate Partner Violence.

The Add Health Wave V survey repeats many of the IPV questions asked at Waves III and IV. For more information about ongoing data collection, please see the Wave V webpage: Add Health Wave V.

Publications

Add Health data is used in nearly 150 publications related to IPV, and for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we would like to highlight a few of these more recent publications below. For a full list of publications related to IPV, search our publications database.
