Mental disorders and violence-related injuries make significant contributions to the global disease burden, mostly affecting young people. In emergency centres, mental disorders and violence-related injuries are commonly seen and, according to international data, violently injured patients are at-risk for mental disorders. Despite the scale of this problem, little evidence exists, especially from low- and middle-income-countries, regarding predictors of mental disorder and violence-related injuries, and data concerning interventions have not been synthesised. 2015-06-01T14:13:14Z 2015-06-01T14:13:14Z 2014 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13049 eng application/pdf Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
