Description
Definition
For women who were randomly selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module and had experienced physical or sexual abuse, DVHOTHER (D119X) indicates whether they sought help from some other person to stop that abuse. The meaning of "other" depends on the specific categories identified for help-seeking in a given sample.
