Disability Adjusted Life Years Violent injury devastates urban underserved populations, but the impact over a lifetime is not well characterized. The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) measures the burden of disability and is used widely to describe the long-term impact of a particular disease or injury. The objective of this study was to calculate DALYs and lost wages attributable to violence and its consequences on physical and mental health. In this retrospective case series analysis, we conducted an in-depth review of

Injury Recidivism Rate and Cost Analysis - An estimate of the long term costs of violent injury For every homicide, an additional 100 people are violently injured in the United States. An estimate of the long term costs of violent injury is $264 billion yearly. Our level I trauma center's violence prevention program (VPP) is designed to reduce our preprogram injury recidivism rate of 36.6%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the VPP recidivism rate and conduct a

Injury Recidivism Rate and Cost Analysis - hospital-based violence prevention programs There is significant room for improvement in the evaluation of hospital-based violence prevention programs. To aid in this pursuit, we have constructed a violence prevention informatics program, with the aid of the software company, QuesGen. An abstract of the work appears below. This program is being considered for wider use and has been demonstrated to the Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program Conference. The National Trauma Data Bank was developed for

Injury Recidivism Rate and Cost Analysis: An Ounce of Prevention An Ounce of Prevention: Comparing the Cost of Treating Victims of Interpersonal Violence to the Cost of a Violence Prevention Program at an Urban Trauma Center A cost analysis has been done of the Wraparound Project by David Grunwald, a medical student who is in the UC San Francisco Joint Medical Program with UC Berkeley. His hypothesis is that the cost to treat patients with injuries due to interpersonal violence
