IN THE JOURNAL

NEW ISSUE:
VIOLENCE & HEALTH

The October issue of Health Affairs examines the consequences of
violence for victims, perpetrators, and communities. Although much
attention is focused on mass violence incidents, the daily burden of
violence often takes a greater toll.

The October issue was supported by The California Wellness Foundation,
Blue Shield of California Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, and the
Annie E. Casey Foundation.
