This study aimed to assess the odds of experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a result of interpersonal violence (IPV) among Native Americans compared to other races controlling for gender, age, socioeconomic status, rurality and intoxication at the time of the injury.
A secondary data analysis of the Arizona Trauma Database consisting of 18 944 cases of TBI between 2008-2010 throughout the state of Arizona was conducted. There were 312 patients who experienced injuries caused by IPV in the sample. Descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations, bivariate analyses and a logistic regression model were used for analyses.
The logistic regression model found that Native Americans (OR = 1.15), patients from the other race category (OR = 1.18), females (OR = 1.35) and those who were insured (OR = 1.26) had higher odds of experiencing a TBI as a result of IPV. Rurality and intoxication were mediators of the correlation between Native American race and TBI as a result of IPV.
Native Americans are more likely than Whites and females are more likely than males to experience TBIs as a result of IPV.
本研究旨在评估与其他种族相比，美国原住民因人际暴力（IPV）导致创伤性脑损伤（TBI）的几率，同时控制受伤时的性别、年龄、社会经济地位、农村地区居住情况和中毒情况。
对亚利桑那州创伤数据库进行二次数据分析，该数据库包含2008年至2010年亚利桑那州全州18944例TBI病例。样本中有312名患者因IPV受伤。采用描述性统计、交叉表、双变量分析和逻辑回归模型进行分析。
逻辑回归模型发现，美国原住民（OR = 1.15）、其他种族患者（OR = 1.18）、女性（OR = 1.35）和参保者（OR = 1.26）因IPV导致TBI的几率更高。农村地区居住情况和中毒是美国原住民种族与因IPV导致的TBI之间相关性的中介因素。
美国原住民比白人更有可能因IPV导致TBI，女性比男性更有可能因IPV导致TBI。
