Violence as a Public Health Risk

American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine (2011)

Tamara M. Haegerich Linda L. Dahlberg

Violence is a public health problem that affects people of all ages. In 2007, violence was one of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States for people from birth to age 64 years. Violence takes many forms, such as child maltreatment, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, self-directed violence, and youth violence. Violence may be best understood and prevented through a public health approach. A focus is placed on preventing violence before it occurs (primary prevention), employing a scientific approach to understand the problem and what action can be taken to prevent it, taking a population perspective that places an emphasis on broad-based changes in communities and society that benefit the largest number of people, and working across sectors (eg, health, justice, education) and integrating knowledge from multiple disciplines (eg, epidemiology, psychology, sociology, medicine). In this article, the authors review the incidence and burden of different forms of violence and the factors that place people at risk for, or protect people from, experiencing violence either as a victim or as a perpetrator. The authors also review strategies based on the best available evidence that may be implemented to prevent violence from occurring, highlighting violence prevention tools for health practitioners. By understanding the burden of violence, the factors that place people at risk for and protect people from experiencing violence, and strategies that can prevent and interrupt violence, health practitioners can play a more active role in enhancing the health and safety of their patients.

Childhood homicide, suicide, and firearm deaths: an international comparison.

PubMed (1996)

Etienne Krug Linda L. Dahlberg K E Powell

This article is intended to provide a better understanding of the incidence of violent deaths among children under 15 years of age in highly industrialized countries/areas. We found that rates of violent childhood deaths are not uniform in the industrialized world and that rates in the United States greatly exceed those in the other countries and areas. In fact, total firearm deaths among children are 12 times higher in the United States than in all of the other countries or areas combined; childhood homicide rates are 5 times higher; and childhood suicide rates are twice as high. Five countries or areas, 3 of which are in Asia, reported no firearm deaths among children under 15 years old. These findings suggest the value of conducting further research to explore these cross-national differences.

Preventing violence in developing countries: a framework for action

International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion (2008)

James A. Mercy Alexander Butchart Mark L. Rosenberg Linda L. Dahlberg Alison Phinney Harvey

Violence is an enormous global public health problem that increases the risk of injury, disease and poor mental health while also impeding economic and social development. This paper articulates a framework for violence prevention in developing countries that is grounded in the knowledge gained from research and programmatic efforts in rich and in poor countries over several decades. This framework can be used by countries and funding agencies as a guide to building strong foundations for ongoing violence prevention efforts and for identifying violence prevention strategies most likely to be effective. The world has learned a lot about preventing violence and, without a doubt, there is a great deal more to learn. As a global community, however, it is not possible to wait for perfect solutions to these problems to act. The obligation is to act now to use the valuable knowledge that has been gained about violence prevention to improve the world.

High-risk Sexual Behavior in the General Population

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (1992)

John E. Anderson Linda L. Dahlberg

The responses of 2,896 adults who completed the General Social Survey (1988-1990), a nationally representative household probability sample of the United States adult population, were analyzed. Three outcome variables were examined: engaging in sexual intercourse with two or more partners, with five or more partners, or with a stranger in the past year. Age, marital status, gender, pattern of alcohol consumption, and race have the strongest and most consistent relationship with having multiple sexual partners or sex with a stranger. Marriage reduces the odds of having 5 or more sexual partners by a factor of 90% (odds ratio, OR, = 0.10). For each single year increase in age, the odds of having multiple partners or sex with a stranger also decrease (OR = 0.95). Alcohol consumption, on the other hand, increases the odds of sexual risk behavior by a factor of 2 to 3 in the three models. Men are more likely to have 5 or more sexual partners (OR = 7.17) and sex with a stranger (OR = 5.62) than women; and blacks are more likely to have multiple partners (OR = 2.82) than members of other racial or ethnic groups. In the United States last year, an estimated 3 to 6 million adults had sex with 5 or more partners and an estimated 5 to 8 million had sex with a stranger.
