Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a pressing public health issue. Nationally, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men have sustained severe physical violence from an intimate partner. Intimate partner homicides (IPH) are the most serious IPV outcome. This study examined documented IPH in Los Angeles County during 2017, analyzing if precipitating circumstances, victim demographics, victim/suspect relationship, and weapon type were related to how often a homicide was reported in online media stories. Cases were identified from the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), and standardized internet searches identified media articles associated with each case. Victim demographics from NVDRS and media articles were compared using Chi Square tests. Media report frequency, within different categorical predictor values, were examined using ANOVA models. 44 incidents were identified; averaging 5.2 articles per decedent. Univariate analyses showed significant difference in media reporting by poverty level (low versus high socioeconomic status) and presence of preceding argument. Multivariate analyses found significantly more media reports (p = 0.002) for incidents in which a preceding argument is reported, the victim was 30–39 years old and from a low socioeconomic status zip code. From our results certain characteristics of IPH are associated with greater media reporting. Promotion of consistent and responsible IPH media reporting guidelines is an opportunity to reinforce public health messaging and dispel myths. In turn, this will encourage the development of future policies and funding streams across the spectrum of preventing and stopping IPV.

洛杉矶县与家庭暴力相关的凶杀案分析:媒体描绘、人口统计和促成环境

亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)仍然是一个紧迫的公共卫生问题。在全国范围内,五分之一的女性和十分之一的男性遭受来自亲密伴侣的严重身体暴力。亲密伴侣凶杀案 (IPH) 是最严重的 IPV 结果。本研究检查了 2017 年洛杉矶县记录在案的 IPH,分析了突发情况、受害者人口统计、受害者/嫌疑人关系和武器类型是否与在线媒体报道中的凶杀案报道频率有关。病例是从国家暴力死亡报告系统 (NVDRS) 中确定的,标准化的互联网搜索确定了与每个病例相关的媒体文章。来自 NVDRS 和媒体文章的受害者人口统计数据使用卡方检验进行了比较。使用 ANOVA 模型检查了不同分类预测值内的媒体报道频率。确定了 44 起事件;每个死者平均 5.2 篇文章。单变量分析显示,媒体报道的贫困程度(社会经济地位低与高)和先前论点的存在存在显着差异。多变量分析发现更多的媒体报道(p  = 0.002)对于报告了先前论点的事件,受害者年龄在 30-39 岁之间,并且来自社会经济地位较低的邮政编码。从我们的结果来看,IPH 的某些特征与更多的媒体报道有关。促进一致和负责任的 IPH 媒体报道指南是加强公共卫生信息和消除神话的机会。反过来,这将鼓励在预防和阻止 IPV 方面制定未来的政策和资金流。
