Sexual Harassment of Students at Institutions of Higher Education: Variations in Students’ Experiences, Knowledge, and Perceptions Across Institutions
Attention to sexual misconduct has focused on acquaintance rape, leaving a need for research on less highly recognizable forms of harm. We estimated institution of higher education (IHE)-specific prevalence of yellow zone sexual harassment (SH) among students at 27 IHEs. We then examined SH and perceived risk of sexual assault/misconduct, knowledge regarding policies/resources, and perceptions of sexual misconduct response. Between 37.1% and 55.7…

Physical and Sexual Violence Among North Carolina Women
Partner Violence Among Women Before, During, and After Pregnancy
Intimate Partner Violence and Women's Depression Before and During Pregnancy
Depressive symptoms of 95 prenatal care patients were examined relative to the women's experiences of intimate partner violence. Women who were victims of psychological aggression during the year before pregnancy were not at elevated risk for depression except when the psychological aggression was very frequent. However, during pregnancy, psychological aggression was more closely tied to women's depression levels, regardless of its frequency. In …
Physical and Sexual Assault of Women With Disabilities
North Carolina women were surveyed to examine whether women's disability status was associated with their risk of being assaulted within the past year. Women's violence experiences were classified into three groups: no violence, physical assault only (without sexual assault), and sexual assault (with or without physical assault). Multivariable analysis revealed that women with disabilities were not significantly more likely than women without dis…
Changes in Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy
Using Multilevel Statistical Models in Social Work Intervention Research
Statistical analyses of data from a classroom-based study illustrate the need to account for intra-class clustering in studies involving schools, classrooms, and other higher order units of analysis. Students were clustered in homerooms that were assigned to intervention and com-parison conditions. Standard multiple linear regression analysis yielded a significant group effect but incorrectly ignored intra-cluster response cor-relations. A multil…
Early Development and Pilot Testing of a Problem-Solving Skills-Training Program for Children
This pilot study examined the impact of a prototype problem-solving skills-training program, Making Choices, on proximal outcomes in 70 6th-grade students. Method: Students received three components of Making Choices and completed pretest and posttest measures of skills on each component. Paired-sample t tests were used to assess proximal effects. Baseline measures were used to identify four subgroups of children, and differences in skill acquisi…
Domestic violence across generations: Findings from northern India
BACKGROUND: Although one cannot underestimate the importance of macrosystem-level forces (such as cultural and social norms) in the aetiology of gender-based violence within any country, including India, individual-level variables (such as observing violence between one's parents while growing up) may also play important roles in the development of such violence. Therefore, this research studies men residing in northern India to: (1) estimate the…
Stressful Life Events and Physical Abuse Among Pregnant Women in North Carolina
Partner Violence Among Adolescents in Opposite-Sex Romantic Relationships: Findings From the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health
Objectives. This report examines (1) the prevalence of psychological and minor physical violence victimization in a nationally representative sample of adolescents and (2) associations between sociodemographic factors and victimization. Methods. Analyses are based on 7500 adolescents who reported exclusively heterosexual romantic relationships in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Items from the Conflict Tactics Scale were used…
Sexual Behaviors and Reproductive Health Outcomes: Associations With Wife Abuse in India
CONTEXT: Wife abuse has been associated with a variety of health concerns. Associations between abuse and reproductive health in India are not well known. OBJECTIVE: To examine relationships between men's reports of wife abuse and reproductive health issues in northern India. DESIGN: Structured face-to-face interviews were conducted as part of the male reproductive health supplement of the PERFORM System of Indicators Survey, a systematic multist…
Violence victimization experiences of pregnant prisoners
The violence victimization histories of pregnant incarcerated women were studied in relation to those of pregnant health department patients in North Carolina. Prisoners were twice as likely as health department patients to have experienced both physical and sexual violence compared to no violence, and over three times more likely to have experienced both types of violence compared to only one type. Implications for research and program developme…
Physician management in primary care
Minimal explicit consensus criteria in the management of patients with four indicator conditions were established by an ad hoc committee of primary care physicians practicing in different locations. These criteria were then applied to the practices of primary care physicians located in a single community by abstracting medical records and obtaining questionnaire data about patients with the indicator conditions. A standardized management score fo…
Communication, compliance, and concordance between physicians and patients with prescribed medications
Forty-six practicing physicians and 357 patients with diabetes mellitus or congestive heart failure were the subjects for this study, which focuses on the impact of medication regimen and doctor-patient communication in affecting patient medication-taking behavior and physician awareness of these behaviors. Four types of medication errors were defined: omissions, commissions, scheduling misconceptions and scheduling non-compliance. The average er…
Practice Characteristics and Quality of Primary Medical Care: The Doctor-Patient Relationship
Physician and practice characterisitics were reviewed in relation to the quality of the doctor-patient relationship in primary medical care. This relationship was defined in terms of communication between physicians and patients, patient satisfaction with care, and physician awareness of patient concerns. The study subjects were mothers of infants and pregnant women, identified from the offices of a random sample of primary care physicians is a s…
Correlates of Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction with Medical Care: A Community Perspective
The attitude of the public toward physicians and medical services is an issue of current concern and debate. To address this problem, an instrument was developed using Thurstone scaling methods in conjunction with a Likert format and a modified scoring technique. Following pretesting of the instrument among both patient and population samples, a survey was conducted among the residents of a probability sample of households in a city of 200,000 pe…
Determinants of Physician Utilization: Approach to a Service-oriented Classification of Symptoms
The 495 residents in a probability sample of 1G0 households in a low-income urban section of Raleigh, N. C. were interviewed to identify the determinants of physician utilization in response to illness. A discriminant function analysis was used with data on 231 persons who experienced 396 symptom-complexes. Based on a random sample of one symptom-complex per person, 49 physician visits resulted from these symptoms. The significant variables in th…
