Violence Against Canadian Women
|
|
In this chapter data from the 1999 General Social Survey (GSS) were analyzed. Results indicate that women who have experienced abuse use health services at rates higher than non-abused women. These include higher rates of physician visits, emergency room visits and hospitalizations, and they report poorer ratings of their health. Thus, experiencing abuse, whether as a child or an adult, places women at higher risk of poor health outcomes, both physical and psychological.
