Abstract

Interpersonal violence is a ubiquitous source of fear, distress, and injury in the lives of women in the United States, crossing lines of age, race, ethnicity, and economic status (Coley & Beckett, 1988; Frieze & Browne, 1989; Koss, 1988; Straus, Gelles, & Steinmetz, 1980). In recent years, the public health community has become increasingly aware that “this violence is a serious public health problem … [and that] nonfatal interpersonal violence has far-reaching consequences in terms of morbidity and quality of life” (Center for Disease Control, 1985, p. 739). This article reviews the physical and mental health effects on adult women of physical abuse and sexual assault, and describes their implications for mental health research and practice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
