1Author Affiliation: University of Texas Medical Branch.
Aims:
This study investigates the risk factors and prevalence of nonfatal strangulation (NFS) within the contexts of intimate partner violence and sexual assault, with a particular focus on the demographic and relational dynamics that influence its occurrence.
Design/Methods:
A comprehensive literature review was undertaken, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative data from existing research on NFS.
Results:
The Extremely High Risk Category Conceptual Model for NFS emerged as an innovative, investigator-developed framework that synthesizes the current literature on factors associated with NFS risk.
Conclusion:
Frameworks that integrate current evidence on NFS risk factors, such as the Extremely High Risk Category model, have the potential to inform the practices of healthcare, social services, and law enforcement professionals. By identifying higher risk individuals, these professionals can implement targeted safety planning and support services. There is an urgent need for focused research and intervention strategies to address the complexities of NFS within intimate partner violence and sexual assault contexts. Expanding research to include diverse populations across genders and ages is crucial for the development of comprehensive prevention and support measures.
