Criminal Victimization Among Women in Cleveland, Ohio: Impact on Health Status and Medical Service Usage, 1986
The impact of criminal victimization on the health status
of women is the focus of this data collection. The researchers
examined the extent to which victimized women differed from
nonvictimized women in terms of their physical and psychological
well-being and differences in their use of medical services. The
sample was drawn from female members of a health maintenance plan at a
worksite in Cleveland, Ohio. Questions used to measure criminal
victimization were taken from the National Crime Survey and focused on
purse snatching, home burglary, attempted robbery, robbery with force,
threatened assault, and assault. In addition, specific questions
concerning rape and attempted rape were developed for the
study. Health status was assessed by using a number of instruments,
including the Cornell Medical Index, the Mental Health Index, and the
RAND Corporation test battery for their Health Insurance
Experiment. Medical service usage was assessed by reference to medical
records. Demographic information includes age, race, income, and
education.
