Linda E. Saltzman, Ph.D. is Senior
Scientist, Division of Violence Prevention, National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Dr. Saltzman received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
Criminology from Florida State University (1973, 1977), and her
A.B. degree in psychology from Brown University (1971). From
1978 through 1984 she was on the Sociology faculty at Mankato
State University in Minnesota, where she taught courses related
to criminology and corrections, and she developed new courses in
victimology, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Since coming
to CDC in 1984, Dr. Saltzman has focused on the prevention of
violence against women, including both intimate partner violence
and sexual violence. In particular, she has emphasized
measurement issues and public health surveillance, looking at
ways of standardizing measurement and definitions related to
violence. Dr. Saltzman is the lead author of Intimate Partner
Violence Surveillance: Uniform Definitions and Recommended Data
Elements, a document published by CDC in 1999 to promote
consistency in the use of terminology and data collection
related to intimate partner violence. She is a co-author for a
companion document on sexual violence definitions and data
elements to be published soon. In 1998, Dr. Saltzman had the
lead for planning a joint interdepartmental workshop on
"Building Data Systems for Monitoring and Responding to Violence
Against Women" for the Department of Health and Human Services
and the Department of Justice. The workshop resulted in multiple
publications: a report in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly
Report (2000) summarizing recommendations from the workshop,
and two issues of the journal Violence Against Women
(July and August 2000) for which she served as guest editor,
both based on material originally developed for and presented at
the workshop. As part of an ongoing CDC working group, Dr.
Saltzman is also involved on projects related to violence
occurring around the time of pregnancy. She served as one of the
co-chairs of the National Conference on Violence and
Reproductive Health: Science, Prevention and Action, held in
Atlanta, Georgia, in June 1999.
