2013 Alaska Victimization Survey of adult women

The survey
was designed to measure the lifetime and
past year exposure to sexual violence and intimate partner violence. It
was conducted from April to July 2013 in these regions through a
contract with the Council on Domestic Violence and
Sexual Assault (CDVSA), with supplemental funding from the Governor's
Choose Respect initiative to end the epidemic of domestic violence and
sexual assault in Alaska. Respondents were randomly selected by phone
(using both land lines and cellphones).
Details of the survey will be available after the release dates at: http://justice.uaa.alaska.edu/avs
