It often occurs in the context of intimate partner violence; 62% of murder–suicides in the U.S. involve killing an intimate partner. The goal of this study was to identify the risk indicators for intimate partner murder–suicide among suicidal males with a history of perpetrating intimate partner violence.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This case-control study used National Violent Death Reporting System data, 2019–2020. Cases were intimate partner murder–suicides committed by males. Controls were males who perpetrated intimate partner violence but who died by suicide without killing their partner. The research team reviewed text summaries from the National Violent Death Reporting System to code detailed information about each event. Analyses estimated the adjusted odds of intimate partner murder–suicide using generalized estimating equations and were completed in November 2024.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Among 478 matched case/control pairs, firearm use (AOR=5.3) and decedent military history (AOR=1.8) were associated with increased odds of perpetrating intimate partner murder–suicide. Prior involvement in a domestic violence protection order (AOR=0.4) and previously established suicide risk indicators (e.g., appearing depressed [AOR=0.4], prior suicide attempts [AOR=0.2], disclosed suicidal intent [AOR=0.2]) were associated with decreased odds of intimate partner murder–suicide.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Among suicidal males perpetrating intimate partner violence, several factors differentiated the risk for murder–suicide relative to that of suicide only. Improving accessibility and implementation of domestic violence protection orders while removing firearms from people who are perpetrating intimate partner violence may prevent intimate partner murder–suicide. There may also be opportunities to screen for and jointly address suicidality and intimate partner violence perpetration across military, healthcare, legal, and child welfare settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50805,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Preventive Medicine","volume":"69 6","pages":"Article 108076"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144977433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to describe injuries from micromobility devices in the state of Illinois and to determine whether there are differences in the patterns and severity of injuries from the use of electric devices (scooters/bikes) to inform future public health policy.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Outpatient and inpatient acute traumatic injuries related to micromobility device use that passed through the emergency room and were treated in Illinois hospitals from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed in 2024 using newly introduced ICD-10 codes for injuries resulting from electric scooters and other devices.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Of 34,073 patients presenting with acute injuries from micromobility devices, the nature, severity, and mechanism of injuries differed for electric devices. Electric scooter injuries primarily occurred owing to falls (78.4%), whereas nearly half (45.4%) of electric bike injuries were caused by motor vehicle crashes (in traffic, nontraffic, or unspecified). Using cycling injuries as a reference group, users of electric devices were significantly more likely to be admitted to hospital (electric bikes AOR=1.62, <em>p</em>&lt;0.05; electric scooters AOR=1.61, <em>p</em>&lt;0.01), to be admitted to the intensive care unit (electric bikes AOR=2.39, <em>p</em>&lt;0.01; electric scooters AOR=2.04, <em>p</em>&lt;0.01), and to present with a traumatic brain injury (electric bikes AOR=1.3, <em>p</em>&lt;0.05; electric scooters AOR=1.23, <em>p</em>&lt;0.01).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Statewide hospital data demonstrate an increased likelihood of serious injuries associated with electric micromobility device use, relative to bicycles.
