The Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Data Collection Project was funded through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 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.
