Abstract: PURPOSE: To examine the relationship between neighborhood factors and adolescent victimization for low- and high-risk areas of Milwaukee, Wis. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we compared neighborhood characteristics based on the US Census Database by rates of adolescent victim rates as measured through victim client enrollment in an adolescent violence intervention program. Multiple regression procedures were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: The mean adolescent assault victim rate was 34.31 per 10,000 population (Standard deviation [SD] = 29.71) with range from 0.00 to 105.09 per 10,000 population in 35 ZIP-code areas in Milwaukee County. Neighborhood ZIP codes with low median household income and high rates of grandparents serving as heads of household were associated with high rates of adolescent assault victims (R2 = 0.75). CONCLUSIONS: Urban areas with higher rates of grandparent head of household and low median household income are associated with higher rates of adolescent assault victims. Language: en

Abstract: 目的 伤害是一个重要的公共卫生问题.无论在发达或是发展中国家,伤害是引起死亡及病残的重要原因,尤其是对儿童和青少年,伤害是引起死亡及病残的主要原因.2005年,全球大约有540万人死于伤害,其中的90%发生在中等及欠发达国家.据联合国估计伤害引起的死亡数在2015年将上升到600万人,在2030年将上升至700万.预计在2020年伤害将从现在的死亡原因的第9位上升至第6位.伤害是可以预测和预防的.在人们的观念中,伤害的发生往往是不可预知.因此伤害通常被称作'意外伤害'.事实并非如此,根据哈登方阵无论在伤害发生前,发生时或是发生后均可通过个体,工具和环境来预防或是降低伤害.和所有的疾病一样伤害也是通过个体,病原(能量)及环境的相互作用发生的.伤害流行病学在伤害的分布及危险因素判断上有着非常重要的意义.伤害监测系统的建立是伤害预防的关键部分.伤害的预防要求多部门的合作.伤害的预防别于其它疾病的预防,除了卫生部门外它还需要其它部门的参与,如工程,公安,交通和法律部门等。
