Annual Performance Measures
Although the cooperative agreement with the CDC formally ended in September 2005, IPV data collection continues within the Injury and Violence Prevention Program through on-going public health surveys, including BRFSS, PRAMS and the Oregon Healthy Teen Survey; the Core Capacity Program; and Oregon's Violent Death Reporting System.
The purpose of the IPV Project is to develop a statewide IPV data collection system to determine statewide IPV incidence and prevalence estimates as well as risk and protective factors associated with IPV. This system will allow us to assess the magnitude of IPV, support our ability to gauge changes in the incidence and prevalence of IPV over time, and provide quality data to guide program design and policy in the future.
What We Are Doing
To appropriately address IPV, it is first necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the scope of the problem.
To build an IPV system we are:
- Analyzing data from existing sources:
- Hospital Discharge Index (HDI)
- Oregon Behavioral Risk Factor System (BRFSS)
- Oregon Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) Healthy Teens Survey
- 1999 & 2000 Homicide Review
- Reviewing and analyzing hospital records (inpatient and emergency), law enforcement data, and medical examiner reports to identify IPV in those data sources and link the information to develop a more complete description of IPV in Oregon.
- Conducting a statewide random-digit dialed survey of 3,000 Oregonians, Intimate Partner Violence and Threats of Violence.
- Working with an advisory committee to interpret findings and disseminate information on the prevalence, incidence, and characteristics of IPV in Oregon.
