That crime and conflict can negatively affect child health is well documented, but one potentially important mechanism has received little attention: Do increases in local violence reduce the utilization of curative and preventative care? Combining a database of violent events with the 2013 Demographic and Health Survey of the Philippines, I exploit within-location variation in violence over time. I find that violence reduces the probability that a mother takes her sick child to a health facility, gives birth in a hospital, or vaccinates her children.

在暴力中寻求健康：来自菲律宾的证据

犯罪和冲突会对儿童健康产生负面影响是有据可查的，但一个潜在的重要机制却很少受到关注：地方暴力的增加是否会降低治疗和预防性护理的利用？将暴力事件数据库与 2013 年菲律宾人口与健康调查相结合，我利用了暴力事件随时间推移的地点内变化。我发现暴力降低了母亲将生病的孩子带到医疗机构、在医院分娩或为孩子接种疫苗的可能性。
