Table 3. Location and perpetrator of most recent violent victimisation incident (sexual offences, threats and assaults) for patients with depression, substance use disorder and severe mental illness.

Face-to-face interviews were conducted with outpatients with depressive disorder (n=102), substance use disorder (SUD, n=106) and severe mental illness (SMI, n=92) using a National Crime Victimisation Survey, and compared with a matched general population sample (n=10865). Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS Statistics for Microsoft Windows, a computer software package for statistical analysis.

Between group analyses were conducted using the Pearson Chi-square test for dichotomous variables, and ANOVA for continuous variables, Effect sizes for dichotomous variables were obtained with Cramer’s V test. The Bonferroni Test was used as a post hoc test for continuous variables. For comparison of the patient group with the general population we also used a Pearson Chi-square test.
