Development of Externalizing Behaviors in Chicago Youth Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence, Illinois, 1994-2002 (ICPSR 36809)

Released/updated on: 2023-08-14
Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, Illinois
Time period: 1994-01-01--2002-01-01

Using data from all three waves of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), this secondary data analysis examined the long-term effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure during childhood and adolescence on subsequent externalizing behaviors (i.e., delinquency, violence, and substance use related offending).

The research questions for this study were as follows:

  1. Are there significant differences in the mean scores of different externalizing behaviors (measured as "offending" in the present study) in any of the three PHDCN waves between youth exposed to IPV and youth not exposed to IPV?
  2. Are there distinct developmental trajectories of externalizing behaviors among youth exposed to IPV when compared to those not exposed to IPV?
  3. How do different individual- and neighborhood-level variables act in predicting the developmental paths of externalizing behaviors among youth exposed to IPV?

Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to match individuals reporting IPV exposure with those not exposed to IPV on key variables. Longitudinal latent class analyses (LLCA) were utilized to estimate the longitudinal developmental trajectories of externalizing behaviors independently for IPV and non-IPV exposed males and females and compared to each other. Multinomial logistic regression models were estimated separately for males and females exposed to IPV during their childhoods to examine the effect of different hypothesized class membership predictors.

This collection contains a master dataset primarily sourced from Emery's (2006) data augmentation along with key variables from all three waves from the PHDCN Longitudinal Cohort Study, cohorts 12 and 15 (DS1); datasets constructed solely for multinomial logistic regressions for youth exposed to IPV, separated by sex (DS2 and DS3); data for the final LLCA models separated by sex and exposure to IPV (DS4 to DS7); and probabilities and latent classes created using Mplus (DS8 to DS9) that can be merged to the multinomial regression data using the SUBID variable. Additionally, syntax for variable and model constructions, as well as Mplus output, have been included as a zip package. Please refer to the P.I. documentation for more information.

Impact of Violent Victimization on Physical and Mental Health Among Women in the United States, 1994-1996 (ICPSR 21020)

Released/updated on: 2007-10-26
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1994-11-01--1996-05-01
The major goals of the project were to use survey data about victimization experiences among American women to examine: (a) the consequences of victimization for women's physical and mental health, (b) how the impact of victimization on women's health sequelae is conditioned by the victim's invoking of family and community support, and (c) how among victims of intimate partner violence, such factors as the relationship between the victim and offender, the offender's characteristics, and police involvement condition the impact of victimization on the victim's subsequent physical and mental health. This data collection consists of the SPSS syntax used to recode existing variables and create new variables from the study, VIOLENCE AND THREATS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND MEN IN THE UNITED STATES, 1994-1996 (ICPSR 2566). The study, also known as the National Violence against Women Survey (NVAWS), surveyed 8,000 women 18 years of age or older residing in households throughout the United States in 1995 and 1996. The data for the NVAWS were gathered via a national, random-digit dialing sample of telephone households in the United States, stratified by United States Census region. The NVAWS respondents were asked about their lifetime experiences with four different kinds of violent victimization: sexual abuse, physical abuse, stalking, and intimidation. Using the data from the NVAWS, the researchers in this study performed three separate analyses. The study included outcome variables, focal variables, moderator variables, and control variables.
