More\r\nspecifically, patients' knowledge of victim services, the legal\r\njustice system, and victims' rights were explored through their use of\r\nmedical and dental services. From July 1, 1990, to June 30, 1991, the\r\nproject staff obtained daily reports from the Medical University of\r\nSouth Carolina (MUSC) Admissions Office regarding new admissions to\r\nspecified units. If patients granted permission, the staff member\r\nadministered a Criminal Victimization Screening Schedule (CVSS) and\r\nasked permission to review the relevant portion of their medical\r\ncharts. Patients were also asked if they would be willing to\r\nparticipate in interviews about their victimization. If so, they were\r\ngiven the Criminal Victimization Interview (CVI), a structured\r\ninterview schedule developed for this study that included items on\r\ndemographics, victim and assault characteristics, knowledge of\r\nvictims' rights, and a post-traumatic stress disorder checklist. This\r\ninformation is contained in Part 1, Interview Data File. At the\r\nconclusion of the personal interviews, patients were referred to the\r\nModel Hospital Victim Assistance Program (MHVAP), which was developed\r\nfor this project and which provided information, advocacy, crisis\r\ncounseling, and post-discharge referral services to hospitalized crime\r\nvictims and their families. The Follow-Up Criminal Victimization\r\nInterview (FUCVI) was administered to 30 crime victims who had\r\nparticipated in the study and who were successfully located 3 months\r\nafter discharge from the hospital. The FUCVI included questions on\r\nhealth status, victim services utilization and satisfaction, and\r\nsatisfaction with the criminal justice system. These data are found in\r\nPart 2, Follow-Up Data File.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06719.v1", "title": "Hospital-Based Victim Assistance for Physically Injured Crime Victims in Charleston, South Carolina, 1990-1991"}], "identifier": "2881", "issued": "1996-07-13T00:00:00", "keyword": ["counseling services", "criminal justice system", "dental health", "health care services", "health services utilization", "hospitals", "victim rights", "victim services", "victims"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-01-12T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Hospital-Based Victim Assistance for Physically Injured Crime Victims in Charleston, South Carolina, 1990-1991"}
