This includes experiences of family violence before, during, and since the separation. The studies have been conducted since 2008 and involve separated families across a broad range of circumstances. Recently completed studies include the Longitudinal Study of Separated Families (LSSF) (2008, 2009 & 2012) and the Survey of Recently Separated Parents(SRSP) (2012 & 2014). COLLECTION HISTORY Collection commenced: Longitudinal Study of Separated Families (three waves: 2008, 2009 & 2012); Survey of Recently Separated Parents (two cross-sectional surveys: 2012 & 2014). Breaks in series: None Other details: COLLECTION METHODOLOGY Survey of over 6,000 separated parents with children aged less than 18 years via computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI).
