The results from the 2013 Alaska Victimization Survey of adult women in the  Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Kenai Peninsula Borough, and Ketchikan Gateway Borough, will be released in October on the following dates:

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).
