Description
For women who were randomly selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module and had experienced physical or sexual violence for which they sought help, DVHEFFECT indicates whether the woman effectively got help from the person(s) from whom she sought help.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, DVHEFFECT has no comparability problems.
