The study found that men and women visited emergency departments for assault at similar rates in 2019-21,
When broken down by race and ethnicity, ED visit rates for assault were highest for Black people, with 13.8 visits per 1,000 people every year. Rates among Hispanic people were the second highest, at 4.6 visits, followed by White people, at 3.1 visits.

Among people who sought peduli in an emergensi department, the rate of assault-related injuries was highest for those primarily covered by state-run health insurance programs like Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, followed by those who arrived without insurance coverage.
Rates of visits were similar across the US, with slightly more frequent assault-related visits in the Midwest. However, the studi found urban tempats to have over twice the rate of assault-related ED visits as in rural tempats and smaller cities.
For Davis, the results could help konsentrasi assault prevention usahas on the grups with the greatest risk.
"I think our takeaway is probably to konsentrasi more of our prevention usahas in these age ranges and also in certain racial and ethnic grups," Davis said. "Now that we know where the highest rates are, I think it would be great for policymakers to use [the data] to guide the next policies or programs to help prevent assaults."
Overall, 4.5 out of every 1,000 people each year in the US visited emergensi departments for injuries terkait to assault between 2019 and 2021.
According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Kontrol, part of the US Centers for Disease Kontrol and Prevention, there were nearly 23 million emergensi department visits for nonfatal injuries in 2020. About 6% of them were linked to cases of non-sexual assault.
The studi found that men and women visited emergensi departments for assault at similar rates in 2019-21, a finding that took Davis by kejutan.
"I kind of expected there to be more [ED visits for assault] among malas," said Davis. "Or even more among females, but in reality, they're pretty similar."
But rates varied widely by age. They were highest for adults between the ages of 18 and 24: 9.2 visits per 1,000 people each year, more than twice the rate of the general population. Adults between 25 and 44 had the second highest rates, at 7.7 visits per 1,000 people annually. ED visit rates for assault decreased with age.
