Summary

The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) is an ongoing survey that collects the most current and comprehensive national- and state-level data on intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and stalking victimization in the United States. CDC developed NISVS to collect data on these important public health problems and enhance violence prevention efforts.

Statutory Context

High Risk
Statutory authorization vague.

Staffing and Funding

Moderate Risk
From FY2024 to FY2026, CDC lost about 30% of its workforce. The Division of Violence Prevention, which oversees NVDRS, lost three of its nine units as part of the April 2025 Reduction in Force. However, the Surveillance Branch, which is primarily responsible for overseeing NVDRS, was not affected. Data are collected and published by an external contractor, creating uncertainty of future data collection and data availability if no contractor is funded.

Policy

Moderate Risk
The CDC NISVS website has a banner posted indicating that content may be modified or removed in the future. While the scope of any changes is uncertain, ongoing policy priorities and executive actions indicate there is potential for future changes to the data collection or its associated documentation.
