IOM Forum on Global Violence Prevention

这项提案是应美国国立卫生研究院的要求提出的。医学研究所全球健康委员会将继续召开全球暴力预防论坛，国立卫生研究院将与其他联邦和非联邦机构、组织和基金会一起参加论坛。 背景和需要可预防的暴力是一个重大的全球公共卫生问题。作为残疾调整寿命损失年的一种原因，2001年，自残伤害和暴力分别占全球损失寿命2030万年和1890万年的前20位。这种负担大多发生在低收入和中等收入国家。为了补充传统和昂贵的刑事司法方法，公共卫生的力量、注重预防的减少暴力的方法日益明显。可以确定暴力的流行病学风险因素，有针对性地采取和反复改进预防性干预措施，以解决虐待儿童、青少年暴力、性暴力和亲密伴侣暴力、虐待老年人、集体暴力和自我导向的暴力问题。为了建立一个更强大和更有效的多学科、多部门的al社区，并借助最新的知识和见解，国家科学院医学研究所设立了全球暴力预防论坛。论坛的范围特别强调低收入和中等收入国家。该论坛由26名指定人士组成，他们来自美国和外国政府机构、国际组织、学术界、基金会和受影响的行业。它每年两次就一系列贯穿各领域的全球暴力预防问题召开公共专家讲习班。这些活动聚集了论坛成员S领导的暴力预防当局，目的是阐明问题的方方面面和不断发展的解决办法。论坛讲习班迄今侧重于以下专题：暴力侵害妇女和儿童；暴力的社会和经济代价；暴力的传染；预防暴力的通信和技术；预防终生暴力的证据；以及虐待老年人。会议记录已在一系列讲习班报告中加以总结，并已广泛散发。正在为继续举办该论坛而拟定的专题包括国家卫生研究院目前感兴趣的专题，如酒精和其他与毒品有关的暴力以及枪支暴力对健康和心理健康的影响。通过继续就暴力问题开展工作，论坛将能够实现其主要目标：由于几年来反复、高级别地接触到通过公共卫生办法改进暴力预防的可能性，预期的结果将是一个日益充满活力和技术性的提案国家行动方案10001727第2页，由不同的资助者和其他代理人组成的社区，根据尖端科学证据采取行动。

This proposal responds to a request from the National Institutes of Health. The Board on Global Health of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) will continue to convene a Forum on Global Violence Prevention in which NIH will participate with other Federal and non-Federal agencies, organizations and Foundations. Background and Need Preventable violence represents a major global public health problem. As a cause of disability adjusted life years lost (DALYs), in 2001 both self-inflicted injuries and violence ranked among the top 20 categories globally accounting for 20.3 and 18.9 million years of life lost, respectively. Most of this burden is in low and middle-income countries. To complement traditional and expensive criminal justice approaches, the power of public health, prevention oriented approaches to reducing violence are increasingly becoming evident. Epidemiologic risk factors for violence can be identified and preventive interventions targeted and iteratively improved to address child abuse, youth violence, sexual and intimate partner violence, elder abuse, collective violence, and self-directed violence. To create a stronger and more effective multi-disciplinary, multi-sector al community empowered by the most current knowledge and insights, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies established a Forum on Global Violence Prevention. The scope of the Forum has placed particular emphasis on low and middle-income countries. The Forum is composed of 26 appointed individuals drawn from a range of US and foreign governmental agencies, international organizations, academia, foundations, and affected industries. Two times a year, it has convened public expert workshops on a range of cross-cutting global violence prevention issues. These events have brought together around the Forum membership the world¿s leading violence prevention authorities for the purpose of illuminating aspects of the problem and evolving solutions. Forum workshops to date have focused on the following topics: Violence Against Women and Children; Social and Economic Costs of Violence; Contagion of Violence; Communication and Technology for Violence Prevention; Evidence for Violence Prevention Across the Lifespan; and Elder Abuse. Proceedings have been summarized in a series of workshop reports and have been disseminated widely. Topics under development for the continuation of the forum include those of current interest to NIH, such as alcohol and other drug-related violence and the effects of gun violence on health and mental health. With continued work on violence, the forum will be able to reach its main goal: As a result of several years of repeated, high-level exposure to the possibilities for improved violence prevention through public health approaches, the expected outcome will be an increasingly energized and Technical Proposal Page 2 NAS Proposal 10001727 diverse community of funders and other agents for action informed by cutting edge scientific evidence.
