Description
Definition
For women who were randomly selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module, DVOSIS indicates whether they had been physically hurt by their sister since age 15.
For a variable that combines "sister" and "brother" responses for this series for some samples, see DVOSIBL (D115F).
