Abstract: The purpose of this project is to: 1) Demonstrate the ability of two large health maintenance organizations to contribute to the understanding and management of violence against women by linking data from their various data sources (e.g., hospital, emergency department, primary care); 2) Compare rates and costs of injury, illness, and medical care utilization of identified abused women HMO enrollees before and after identification; 3) Compare rates and costs of injury, illness, and medical care utilization of identified abused women HMO enrollees not identified as abused ("marginal medical utilization"); and 4) Compare findings from items 2 and 3 above for the two different HMO populations and summarize similarities and differences for the two study sites.
