ABSTRACT
Objective:
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between adolescent and young adulthomicidemortality rates in Brazilian municipalities according to gender, race, and contextual characteristics at the municipal and federation unit levels.
Methods:
This is an ecological study that used secondary data available from the death records of the MortalityInformation System and socioeconomic data from the Brazilian Census. The dependent variables were homicidemortality rates among people aged 15-29 years by sex and race from 2015 to 2017. The contextual variables were related to education, income, schooling, and vulnerability. Multilevel linear regression was applied in an ecological model to verify the first- and second-level variables' effect. Each variable's effect was estimated using β and its respective confidence intervals (95%CI) and statistical significance.
Analisar a relação entre as taxas de mortalidade por homicídios de adolescentes e adultos jovens em municípios brasileiros segundo sexo, raça e características contextuais nos níveis municipal e das unidades da federação.
