Hidden Costs in Health Care: The Economic Impact of Violence and Abuse
Publisher(s):Violence and abuse occur in all age groups, at all socioeconomic levels, and throughout all of society's structure.

Includes a graph that illustrates the conditions and health risk behaviors that are known or suspected to have a correlation with lifetime exposure to abuse.
