Health Impact of Interpersonal Violence 1: Prevalence Rates, Case Identification, and Risk Factors for Sexual Assault, Physical Assault, and Domestic Violence in Men and Women
Abstract
This integrated series of three articles deals with the relationship between interpersonal violence and health. In the first article, the scope of the problem, the prevalence of interpersonal violence, and information on rates of violent crime in specific subgroups of people are outlined. The role of the treating physician and other health professionals in failing to identify cases of assault-related illness is considered, as are the factors that place individuals at increased risk of assault. In the second article, the impact of interpersonal violence on physical and mental health is reviewed, and the results of basic and applied clinical research into acute and chronic emotional and physical sequalae are discussed. The third article includes an outline of implications for research, training, and clinical practice using behavioral techniques in treating victims of interpersonal violence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
