Project Description

RTI International has provided support to the Justice Center at the University of Alaska Anchorage through annual random-digit-dialing telephone surveys of women in Alaska since 2010. The survey provides comprehensive statewide and regional data to guide planning and policy development and to evaluate the impact of prevention and intervention services. The 2015 survey of 3,027 adult women revealed that: (1) More than one in nine Alaskan women age 60+ experienced psychological or physical abuse in the past year; (2) One in four women in the Municipality of Anchorage have experienced stalking; (3) One in three women in Alaska have experienced stalking; and (4) There was a decline in intimate partner and sexual violence since 2010. These results have been used in planning and policy development, evaluating the impact of prevention and intervention services, and provide greater support for preventing violence against women.
