Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): My Exposure to Violence (Subject), Wave 2, 1997-2000
The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods
(PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families,
schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development.
One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which
was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over
6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and
their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing
circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics,
that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial
behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge
various aspects of human development, including individual
differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. Once such
measure was the subject self-report version of the Exposure to
Violence. For Wave 2, a much more detailed version of the instrument
than was used in Wave 1 was developed to assess exposure to
violence. It was called, My Exposure to Violence (Subject), or
ETVS. This detailed subject self-report instrument was administered to
Cohorts 9 to 15 and obtained information regarding the subject's
lifetime and past year exposure to violent events. In addition, a
short form of the subject self-report instrument was used with
subjects in Cohort 6. The subject self-report instrument is
complemented by the parent-report instrument PROJECT ON HUMAN
DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS (PHDCN): MY CHILD'S EXPOSURE TO
VIOLENCE, WAVE 2, 1997-2000 (ICPSR 13619).
