Sexual Violence in America: Public Funding and Social Priority
1Randall Waechter is with the Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine and the Windward Islands Research and Education Foundation, St. George's University, Grenada, West Indies. Van Ma is a student in the School of Medicine, St. George's University.
Abstract:
We compared lifetime risk, annual incidence, and annual economic burden of sexual violence with other major public health issues in the United States: cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. With public funding data from 2013, we examined how much public funding is allocated to these public health issues as a proxy of the social priority of addressing each of them. Although sexual violence is as prevalent as and more costly than are these other major public health issues, it receives a fraction of the public funds that they receive.
