A Study of the Effects of Intimate Partner Violence on the Workplace

This is a continuation award for a study initiated in FY2003, which explores the economic and work-related psychological factors that influence the occurrence and dynamics of intimate partner violence (IPV), and the consequences of IPV for both organizations and victims. During Phase I of this project, funding is used to develop and test the survey instrument and collect data from approximately 40,000 respondents in a small convenience sample of companies. The FY2004 award will fund the analysis of Phase I data, prepare articles for academic and practitioner audiences, and expand data collection effort to additional companies and individuals as the project builds a more nationally representative sample.
