* p is a result of ANOVA for BPRS items and χ2 test for categorical variables for differences between Depression, SUD & SMI.

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.
