Violence and health in Sweden- A National Prevalence Study on Exposure to Violence among Women and Men and its Association to Health
Abstract
This document presents a national prevalence study on exposure to violence among women and men and its association to Health. The research has been characterised by the use of numerous terms, definitions and methods of measurement. The research is carried out within several academic disciplines, from different perspectives, and the definitions of concepts that may appear to be the same can vary. The context of any given study, as well as the chosen methods of collecting data, affects the results and the conclusions drawn. The study aims to complement data obtained in earlier Swedish studies by connecting the various parts of the problem and providing an up-to-date and more comprehensive view of the exposure to violence of women and men in Sweden in 2012. The study also aims to provide a perspective on the relationship between exposure to violence and subsequent ill-health.
