BACKGROUND: @entity734 ( @entity734 ) are associated with an increased risk of @entity1032 , but we know little about the mental health of female @entity734 survivors seeking support from domestic violence services. OBJECTIVE: @entity734 ( @entity734 ) are associated with an increased risk of @entity1032 , but we know little about the mental health of female @entity734 survivors seeking support from domestic violence services. DESIGN: Baseline data on 260 @entity1 enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of a psychological intervention for @entity734 survivors was analyzed. We report prevalence of and associations between mental health status and severity of abuse at the time of recruitment. We used logistic and normal regression models for binary and continuous outcomes, respectively. Mental health measures used were: Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM), @entity1 Health Questionnaire, Generalized @entity148 Assessment, and the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS) to measure @entity1005 . The Composite Abuse Scale (CAS) measured abuse. RESULTS: Exposure to @entity734 was high, with a mean CAS score of 56 (SD 34). The mean CORE-OM score was 18 (SD 8) with 76% above the clinical threshold (95% confidence interval: 70-81%). @entity308 and @entity148 levels were high, with means close to clinical thresholds, and all respondents recorded PTSD scores above the clinical threshold. Symptoms of @entity1032 increased stepwise with increasing severity of @entity734 . CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to @entity734 was high, with a mean CAS score of 56 (SD 34). The mean CORE-OM score was 18 (SD 8) with 76% above the clinical threshold (95% confidence interval: 70-81%). @entity308 and @entity148 levels were high, with means close to clinical thresholds, and all respondents recorded PTSD scores above the clinical threshold.
