Abstract

Registry data on costs of injuries due to violence in low-income countries seldom cover the total burden imposed on the victim's family. An extended model was therefore developed, encompassing both socio-economic data and family characteristics. The model comprises 32 cost elements in four main categories : injury, death, deprivation and other costs. The main cost elements were income adjusted by family and years; income impact on the family; costs of physical, psychosocial and family deprivations, and cardinal approach of productivity loss. As a result of the five case studies performed in India, the supplementary variables contributed to a better understanding of the total burden on families. This adapted model could help to increase both validity and equality in household surveys. However, ethical issues related to the data collection procedure need to be considered and more empirical contributions from low-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America are warranted.
低收入国家暴力的成本计算与经济分析:以印度为例
低收入国家关于暴力伤害费用的登记数据很少涵盖受害者家庭所承受的全部负担。因此制订了一个扩大的模型,包括社会经济数据和家庭特征。该模型包括32个费用要素,分为四大类:伤害、死亡、剥夺和其他费用。主要成本要素为按家庭和年限调整的收入;收入对家庭的影响;身体、心理和家庭剥夺的代价,以及生产力损失的主要途径。由于在印度进行了五项个案研究,补充变量有助于更好地了解家庭的总负担。这种调整后的模型有助于提高住户调查的有效性和平等性。然而,需要考虑与数据收集程序有关的伦理问题,非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的低收入国家需要提供更多的经验性贡献。
