National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS): General Population Survey Raw Data, 2016/2017

The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey is an ongoing, nationally representative survey that assesses experiences of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence among adult women and men in the United States. The survey is focused exclusively on violence and collects information about:
Sexual violence by any perpetrator, including information related to rape, being made to penetrate someone else, sexual coercion and unwanted sexual contact.
Stalking, including the use of technologies such as text messages, emails, monitoring devices (e.g., cameras and GPS, or global positioning system devices), by perpetrators known and unknown to the victim.
Psychological aggression by an intimate partner, including information on expressive forms of aggression and coercive control.
Physical violence by an intimate partner.
In addition to collecting lifetime and 12-month prevalence data on sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence, the survey collects information on the age at the time of the first victimization, demographic characteristics of respondents, characteristics of perpetrators (age, sex, race/ethnicity, relationship to the respondent) and detailed information about the context in which these types of violence occur.
The primary objectives of the survey are to describe the prevalence and characteristics of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence in the United States; who is most likely to experience these forms of violence; the context in which sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence are experienced; and the consequences and impacts of these forms of violence.
The survey was conducted in both English and Spanish, ensuring inclusivity and broader participation. The documentation package includes both the English and Spanish versions of the questionnaire.
The data file contains 30,947 observations and 428 variables.
