Description:
    Using a random sample of 1,876 individuals with disabilities, this study 
examines relationships between victimization as a result of violence, 
substance abuse, disability, and gender. Multivariate analyses reveal that 
women with disabilities are more likely to be victims of substance abuse 
related violence than are their male counterparts. Some disability conditions 
such as disability onset, multiple disabilities, and chronic pain are 
significantly associated with violence for both men and women with 
disabilities. For people with disabilities, this study finds that victims of 
substance abuse related violence are more likely to have their own substance 
abuse problems than are those who have not been victimized.
