TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Physical violence and injuries in intimate relationships--New York, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 1994 JO - MMWR: Morbidity and mortality weekly report A1 - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USA, SP - 765 EP - 767 VL - 45 IS - 35 N2 - Women are more likely than men to sustain injuries and to require medical attention as a result of physical violence in an intimate relationship. To determine the prevalence of physically violent acts by intimate partners, injuries, and the use of medical services for injuries sustained from intimate partner physical violence, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDH) analyzed data from the 1994 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). This report summarizes the analysis of these findings, which indicate that women are more likely to be injured than men and that their injuries are underreported.
