这项研究估计了美国亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女的经济成本，包括医疗保健和心理健康服务的支出，以及因受伤和过早死亡而损失的生产力。这项分析利用全国调查数据，包括全国对妇女的暴力行为调查和医疗开支专门小组调查，来估计1995年的费用。亲密伴侣对妇女的暴力行为花费了58亿美元（95%置信区间：1995年为39亿至77亿美元），包括3.2亿美元（1.36亿美元至5.03亿美元）强奸，42亿美元（24亿至61亿美元）用于身体攻击，3.42亿美元（2.35亿至4.49亿美元）用于跟踪，8.93亿美元（8.4亿至9.46亿美元）用于谋杀。按2003年美元计算，费用总额将超过83亿美元。亲密伴侣暴力在美国是昂贵的。减少这种暴力的努力可能节省大量资金。需要更全面的数据来完善成本估算和长期成本监测。
This study provides estimates of the economic cost of intimate partner violence perpetrated against women in the US, including expenditures for medical care and mental health services, and lost productivity from injury and premature death. The analysis uses national survey data, including the National Violence Against Women Survey and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, to estimate costs for 1995. Intimate partner violence against women cost $5.8 billion dollars (95% confidence interval: $3.9 to $7.7 billion) in 1995, including $320 million ($136 to $503 million) for rapes, $4.2 billion ($2.4 to $6.1 billion) for physical assault, $342 million ($235 to $449 million) for stalking, and $893 million ($840 to $946 million) for murders. Updated to 2003 dollars, costs would total over $8.3 billion. Intimate partner violence is costly in the US. The potential savings from efforts to reduce this violence are substantial. More comprehensive data are needed to refine cost estimates and monitor costs over time.
