Neighborhood Violence Impacts Disease Control and Surveillance: Case Study of Cali, Colombia from 2014 to 2016

Abstract: Arboviruses are responsible for a large burden of disease globally and are thus subject to intense epidemiological scrutiny. However, a variable notably absent from most epidemiological analyses has been the impact of violence on arboviral transmission and surveillance. Violence impedes surveillance and delivery of health and preventative services and affects an individual’s health-related behaviors when survival takes priority. Moreover, low and middle-income countries bear a disproportionately high burden of violence and related health outcomes, including vector borne diseases. To better understand the epidemiology of arboviral outbreaks in Cali, Colombia, we georeferenced chikungunya (CHIKV), dengue (DENV), and Zika (ZIKV) viral cases from The National System of Surveillance in Public Health between October 2014 and April 2016. We extracted homicide data from the municipal monthly reports and kernel density of homicide distribution from IdeasPaz. Crucially, an overall higher risk of homicide is associated with increased risk of reported DENV, lower rates of acute testing, and higher rates of lab versus clinical discordance. In the context of high violence as a potential barrier to access to preventive health services, a community approach to improve health and peace should be considered.

The planning of the productive classification is based on the evaluation of the lands and in the characteristics that each of the soils present without bearing in mind the impact that could be generated in the environment where there develop activities of agricultural, tourist, mining exploitation etc. The nonexistence of clear criteria and the unification of the same ones opposite to regulatory entities of the territory tend to unleash problems and effects that largely of the cases are negative in addition it generates bias in the capture of decisions on the part of whom they take charge generating mechanisms for the territorial development and the conservation of suitable zones for the environmental protection The evaluation that is done to the lands at present to define the use and vocation is focused in the technical, ecological and socioeconomic aptitude that the same ones present but is not articulated in a direct way by each of the climatic, environmental, biological parameters that possess the studied coverages, must know that the level of detail with which such studies have been realized does not guarantee precision in the information and hereby it is impossible to take decisions detailed in points that can be strategic to give a vision ordenadora to the territory without politician to curtail in limits administrative officers if not giving the importance needed from the ecosystems and from the socioeconomic activities developed in such areas.
