N2  - Domestic and sexual violence are significant public health problems but little is known about the extent to which men and women with severe mental illness (SMI) are at risk compared with the general population. The authors aimed to compare the prevalence and impact of violence against SMI patients and the general population. Three hundred and three randomly recruited psychiatric patients, in contact with community services for at least 1 year, were interviewed using the British Crime Survey domestic/sexual violence questionnaire. Prevalence and correlates of violence in this sample were compared with those from 22,606 general population controls participating in the
contemporaneous 2011/12 national crime survey.
Results. Past-year domestic violence was reported by 27% v. 9% of SMI and control women, respectively, and by 13% v.
5% of SMI and control men, respectively. (from the abstract)
