Violence: outside the safety of the hospital.
The DHSS has issued guidelines on how to deal with violent and potentially violent patients in hospital. Author argues that it fails to give effective advice to ancillary staff dealing with patients in casualty departments and outside the hospital.
In this article the hedonic regression technique is used to estimate the value of traffic safety, using information from the Swedish market for automobiles. The results from the study show that the market price of an automobile is negatively correlated with its inherent risk level, i.e. Swedish car consumers pay a safety premium for safer cars. In comparison to previous Swedish stated-preference studies, this study reveals a lower willingness to pay for additional car safety, which might be a result of the interaction between government interventions and individual self-insurance and self-protection.
