The report by New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medicine used data from the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, a nationally representative sample of emergency department visits.
During this time period, there were 355,677 emergency department visits for injuries by law enforcement.
'We found these frequencies [approximately 51,000 ED visits per year] to be stable over 7 years, indicating that this has been a longer-term phenomenon,' the authors write.
'While U.S. policymakers have decided that police departments should be one of the primary institutions tasked with addressing drug use, problem drinking, homelessness, sex work, and mental illness, these are all fundamentally public health issues requiring attention from public health researchers and professionals alike,' Feldman wrote in an article for the HPH Review.
