Title:	Costs of intimate partner violence against women in the United States
Authors:	National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
Keywords:	Health;Economic costs
Year:	2003
Publisher:	Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
Notes:	Estimates the incidence, prevalence and costs of intimate partner violence against U.S. women aged 18 years and over using data collected in 1995 through the National Violence Against Women Survey (NVAWS) on non-fatal intimate partner violence victimisations and resulting health service use and lost productivity. Also uses data on intimate partner homicides from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports Supplementary Homicide Reports. Reports that the costs of intimate partner rape, physical assault and stalking exceed $US5.8 billion each year, of which $US4.1billion was for direct medical and mental health services. Points out that these cost estimates are conservative and not comprehensive, as they exclude costs such as those incurred by the criminal justice system. Although the costings include mental health service costs, they do not include the costs of pain and suffering that do not result in a mental health service visit. Makes recommendations about the types of data required to more fully appreciate the human costs of intimate partner violence.
