Abstract in brief

  • Nonfatal strangulation by an intimate partner significantly increases the risk of both attempted and completed homicide of women, with over six times the odds of attempted homicide and over seven times the odds of homicide.
  • The study highlights the importance of screening for nonfatal strangulation in emergency settings, as it is a strong indicator of potential future lethal violence against women.
  • Data was collected through interviews with survivors and proxies, comparing cases of homicide and attempted homicide to abused controls to identify strangulation as a key risk factor.]

If anyone aggressively touches your neck area or attempts any form of strangulation it's a particularly high indicator of lethality in the future. *Stat - The Journal of Emergency Medicine’s report: Non-fatal Strangulation is an Important Risk Factor for Homicide of Women https://t.co/0NO6IKguYB
