Since 1992, NHAMCS has provided injury causes by sex. Thus high-quality data on leading causes of injuries to women and men have been available for decades.

Statistics on causes of injury are readily available online from the U.S. National Electronic Injury Surveillance System All-Injury Program (NEISS AIP).

NEISS provides better estimates of serious injury from domestic violence and intimate-partner violence than does NCVS and NVAWS.

Spouse abuse, intimate-partner violence, domestic violence, and family violence can encompass significantly different perpetrator categories.

The NVAWS survey design biased upward intimate partner violence and domestic violence as shares of violent incidents reported in detail.

NVAWS attempted to measure lifetime incidence of rape and physical assault across a wide range of behaviors with poor question bounding.

NVAWS had a low response rate, a non-representative sample, and no publicly available sample weights.

The National Violence Against Women Survey represented and administered different treatment of women and men as victims of violence.

NVAWS integrated from data collection to final report relatively narrow participation and purposes.

Less than half as many male victims of domestic violence receive victim services as do females, and services for men are of inferior quality.
