Abstract

Hoff and Rosenbaum developed the Victimization Assessment Tool in 1994 to assist nurses and other primary care providers with routine assessment for victimization in diverse health and mental health settings. The tool is made up of five items which screen for physical interpersonal violence, sexual violence, suicidal ideation, and risk of hurting others. The tool is designed for men and women within a primary care setting. In their original article, Rosenbaum and Hoff found preliminary validity and reliability. (CVR Abstract)
