PURPOSE: To assess the association between gender-based violence and DSM-IV @entity74 in female college students. METHODS: A stratified random sample of 1,043 college @entity1 (average age 22.2 years) participated in the study. We collected sociodemographic, socioeconomic and academic information as well as information on the @entity1 ' experience of gender-based violence victimization. The presence of @entity146 during the 12 months preceding the study was assessed by clinically trained interviewers applying the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV @entity74 -Clinician Version ( @entity915 -CV). RESULTS: 15.2% of the @entity1 reported lifetime gender-based violence victimization. Almost two-thirds of the victims had suffered some @entity74 during the past year, a significantly larger proportion than among non-victims (OR = 3.72; 95% CI 2.61-5.30). @entity1316 and @entity148 were both significantly more common among victims than non-victims (OR = 4.26; 95% CI 2.81-6.46 and OR = 1.97; 95% CI 1.20-3.24, respectively). The most prevalent individual disorder among victims was major @entity308 (26.41%). Among victims of purely psychological violence, the overall rate of @entity74 was similar to the rate among other victims (67 and 61%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Among female university students, the experience of physical or psychological gender-based violence is associated with @entity146 . These findings suggest the need for treatment and prevention interventions designed specifically for this population.
