dc.description.notesThis refers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) results of the first US study, Average Costs per Person Victimised by an Intimate Partner of the Opposite Gender: A Comparison of Men and Women:, i.e. of male and female victims, that determined the healthcare costs and impact of domestic violence incidents. The study found that the US health care costs attributed to a domestic violence incident were $948 for female victims and $387 for male victims. It also found that domestic violence against women ends in more emergency room visits, in-patient hospitalisations, and greater use of physician services than male victims. The average medical cost for women victimised by physical domestic violence was $483 compared to $83 for men; mental health services costs for women was $207 compared to $80 for men; productivity losses were $257 for women and $224 for men. It noted that the estimates using 1995 data in a previous CDC study on the total direct healthcare costs associated with domestic violence as around $4.1 billion were conservative because many cases of domestic violence are not reported. The health care and productivity costs are likely to be much greater.en
