Description

Definition
For women who were randomly selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module, DVOPABOTH indicates whether they had been physically hurt by their father or stepfather since age 15.

Some samples separate "father" and "step-father" responses in this series. For a variable that includes only "father" responses for this series, see DVOPA (D115C). For a variable that only includes "step-father" responses for this series, see DVOPASTEP (D115N).
