    (Journal of interpersonal violence, 2016) Tsai, Alexander C.; Wolfe, William R.; Kumbakumba, Elias; Kawuma, Annet; Hunt, Peter W.; Martin, Jeffrey N.; Bangsberg, David R.; Weiser, Sheri D.
    The association between sexual violence and depression is well known, but the temporal aspects of the association have not been well established. We analyzed data from a cohort of 173 HIV-positive women in rural Uganda who were interviewed every 3 months for a median of 1.8 years of follow-up. The method of generalized estimating equations (GEE) was used to model the marginal expectation of depression symptom severity (Hopkins Symptom Checklist for Depression), mental health–related quality of life (MOS-HIV Mental Health Summary), and heavy drinking (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) as a function of self-reported forced-sex victimization in the 3 months prior to interview.
