Abstract
This Powerpoint slide presentation presents an overview of key results from the 2013 Alaska Victimization Survey for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, which was conducted from April to July 2013, with results released on October 8, 2013 in Wasilla. Findings include: * 53% of adult women in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual violence or both, in their lifetime; * 9% have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual violence or both, in the past year; * More than 3 out of every 10 adult women in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime; and * More than 4 out of every 10 have experienced intimate partner violence in their lifetime. The Alaska Victimization Survey, designed to establish a baseline for estimates of intimate partner and sexual violence, is modeled after the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
