Manual for estimating the economic costs of injuries due to interpersonal and self-directed violence
Abstract
The Manual for estimating the economic cost of injuries due to interpersonal and self-directed violence was prepared by WHO and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It provides a standardized set of recommendations to estimate the direct and indirect economic costs of interpersonal and self-directed violence. The manual is intended primarily for economists, public health experts and researchers interested in conducting studies of this nature. It is hoped that the use of the manual in countries will support a growing number of scientific analyses of the economic impacts of violence, and ultimately result in lives saved through an increase in prevention programs justified at least in part by documenting the economic costs of violence.
