ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Our goal was to highlight the ongoing disparity, promote discussion, and advocate for further funding to examine the factors associated with sexual violence to target prevention rather than intervention. DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
We compared prevalence, incidence, and economic burden of sexual violence to other major public health issues in the US cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. We compared the public funding allocated to an issue as a proxy of the social priority of addressing the issue. Finally, we calculated the ratio of public funding to economic disease burden.RESULTS:
[Table].CONCLUSION:
Public funds allocated to sexual violence were a fraction of those allocated to other major public health issues such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes despite similar incidence, prevalence, and economic burden between them. While sexual violence was similarly prevalent and costly to these other major public health issues, it received a fraction of public funds.
