encuestacara a cara en una muestra multietápica representativa de la población de 12 a 60 años, no institucionalizada, del área urbana de cada municipio.
To estimate the magnitude and distribution by sex of domestic or family violence (between partners, siblings, and from parents to children) in Medellin, Colombia and nine surrounding municipalities (Medellin metropolitan area), 2003-2004.
We suggest not to ground public policies on current statistics, but to establish a system of periodic surveys, representative of general population or families. It seems important to have two different types of
interventions:
domestic or family violence prevention considering family as a unit that interaCTS with the surrounding; and rehabilitation of chronic and severe domestic aggressors.
