Correlates of victimisation amongst people with psychosis.

Background: While much attention has been given to the prediction of violent offending behaviour amongst people with psychotic disorders, less attention has been given to the fact that these same individuals are often the victims of violence. In this paper, we examine victimisation amongst participants in a prevalence study of psychosis, and describe demographic and clinical correlates of victimisation. METHOD The study was based on the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing--Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders.
