Homicide is one of the leading causes of death for women aged ≤44 years.* In 2015, homicide caused the death of 3,519 girls and women in the United States. Rates of female homicide vary by race/ethnicity (1), and nearly half of victims are killed by a current or former male intimate partner (2). To inform homicide and intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention efforts, CDC analyzed homicide data from the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) among 10,018 women aged ≥18 years in 18 states during 2003-2014. The frequency of homicide by race/ethnicity and precipitating circumstances of homicides associated with and without IPV were examined. Non-Hispanic black and American Indian/Alaska Native women experienced the highest rates of homicide (4.4 and 4.3 per 100,000 population, respectively). Over half of all homicides (55.3%) were IPV-related; 11.2% of victims of IPV-related homicide experienced some form of violence in the month preceding their deaths, and argument and jealousy were common precipitating circumstances. Targeted IPV prevention programs for populations at disproportionate risk and enhanced access to intervention services for persons experiencing IPV are needed to reduce homicides among women.
他杀是44岁及以下女性的主要死因之一。*2015年，在美国，他杀导致3519名女童和妇女死亡。女性他杀率因种族/族裔而异(1)，近半数受害者被现任或前任男性亲密伴侣杀害(2)。为指导他杀和亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)预防工作，美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)分析了2003 - 2014年期间18个州10018名18岁及以上女性的国家暴力死亡报告系统(NVDRS)中的他杀数据。研究了按种族/族裔划分的他杀频率以及与IPV相关和无关的他杀的诱发情况。非西班牙裔黑人和美国印第安/阿拉斯加原住民女性的他杀率最高(分别为每10万人4.4人和4.3人)。所有他杀事件中超过一半(55.3%)与IPV相关；在与IPV相关的他杀事件中，11.2%的受害者在死亡前一个月遭受过某种形式的暴力，争吵和嫉妒是常见的诱发情况。需要针对风险过高人群制定有针对性的IPV预防计划，并为遭受IPV的人增加获得干预服务的机会，以减少女性中的他杀事件。
