Chicago Women's Health Risk Study: A Report to the National Institute of Justice, June 2000
To help a broad array of practitioners identify women at greatest risk, the Chicago Womens Health Risk Study explored factors indicating significant danger of death or life-threatening injury in intimate violence situations. A collaboration of Chicago medical, public health and criminal justice agencies, and domestic violence advocates, the CWHRS compared longitudinal interviews with physically abused women sampled at hospital and health centers with similar interviews of people who knew intimate partner homicide victims.
