Intimate Partner Violence Prevalence in the U.S., 2023/2024

Percentage of U.S. women and men reporting selected forms of intimate partner violence during their lifetime or in the 12 months preceding the survey.

Psychological aggression is measured separately from contact sexual violence, physical violence, and stalking. “IPV with related impact” means contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking associated with at least one measured consequence, such as fear, concern for safety, PTSD symptoms, injury, need for medical care, filing a police report, or missing work or school. Categories may overlap because one person may have experienced more than one form of intimate partner violence. These CDC prevalence estimates should not be directly compared with the BJS victimization rates in the previous chart because the surveys use different definitions, questions, populations, methodologies, and units. CDC also cautions against directly comparing 2023/2024 NISVS estimates with earlier NISVS survey years because survey methodology changed.
