Mediante la revisión de información secundaria oficial, publicaciones científicas y el análisis de la ENSANut 2012, este trabajo busca proveer una visión integral de la magnitud actual de las lesiones causadas por el tránsito (LCT) en México y analizar críticamente la respuesta social organizada. Las altas tasas de choques, lesiones, muertes y discapacidad atribuidas a este problema de salud pública, representan un elevado costo para la sociedad mexicana, en especial para los hogares. Se discute cómo la respuesta mexicana se ha enfocado a los automovilistas, dejando fuera a usuarios vulnerables de la vía pública y se ha privilegiado la implementación de estrategias poco efectivas. A pesar de que se dispone de legislación para los principales factores de riesgo, se ha descuidado su correcta aplicación. La estrategia mexicana podría fortalecerse implementando estrategias de movilidad seguras, equitativas, saludables y sostenibles para los diferentes actores de la vía pública. A pesar de los avances que se han dado en términos de prevención de LCT, existen aún retos y oportunidades para el país

Objective: The objective of the study is to estimate the prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence
(IPV) identify factors linked to it in pregnant Mexican adult adolescent women. Methods:
Data were gathered by the National Survey of Violence against Women (2006), applied to women
between the ages 15 49, users of Mexican public health institutions. Multinomial logistic regression
analyses were performed to explore the significant factors associated with IPV against pregnant
women. Results: Both adolescent adult study participating women showed a 24% prevalence
of current IPV (during the previous 12 months). The study’s multivariate model for adult
women revealed the following as main predictors for IPV: a woman’s agreement with traditional
gender roles (OR = 4.35, CI95% = 2.20 8.60), women with a history of childhood sexual abuse
(OR = 2.76, CI95% = 1.68 4.55). The main predictor of IPV in pregnant adolescents was their
partners’ frequency of alcohol consumption: often/usually (OR = 6.49, CI95% = 2.18 19.33). Conclusion:
To this date, Mexico has not been able to guarantee universal screening methods for IPV
as a part of prenatal care protocols. The phenomenon of IPV towards pregnant women neither has
been followed up by further research nor has been identified as a public health problem in spite of
the seriousness of its implications for women their offspring.
