- W2045969324 abstract "Violence-related injuries are common in Caribbean countries such as Jamaica and are a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The study examined the epidemiology of violence-related injuries and ascertained the extent to which the utilization of violence-related injury reports and surveillances inform health policy and programme planning implementation in Jamaica.Primary data was gathered by the Ministry of Health through its Public Hospital Monthly Statistical Reporting System (HMSR) and the Jamaica Injury Surveillance System (JISS). These data files were collected over a four and five year period respectively. The sample size comprised 187,610 cases (117,615 from HMSR) and (69,995 from JISS) which were seen and treated at the public hospitals in Jamaica because of violence-related injuries. This study employed a descriptive analysis of visits and cases (episodes) relating to violence-relating injuries. Simple random sampling method was used in this study and the data was analysed using both Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for Social Scientists 18.0.The highest number of violence-related injuries was in 2007 and assault (stab wounds, gunshot and blunt injury) was the most frequent violence-related injury with human bites, and burns being the least. The highest number of violence-related injuries in males and females was in the age group 20-29 y. More males experienced violence-related injuries compared with females with male to female ratio of 1.35:1 to 1.45:1 in the years considered.The findings of this study are consonant with local and international studies and confirm that assault was the most frequent violence-related injury. Males compared with their female counterparts are a stronger demographic risk factor where violence-related injuries are concerned. Violence-related injuries have spurred the charge for effective interventions, policy initiatives, and strategic and programme planning by the Ministry of Health, through multi-sectoral and multi-agency approaches in Jamaica." @default.
