Trends in Assault-Related Craniofacial Injuries Among Asians During the COVID-19

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in racially motivated hate crimes involving physical violence towards the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in the United States. This study aims to measure trends in assault-related craniofacial injuries among Asians during the COVID pandemic in San Francisco. We plan on conducting a retrospective cross-sectional study of assault-related craniofacial injuries in adults from November 17, 2018 (one year prior to the first case of COVID in China) to the present. Variables to be examined include date, sex, race, age, diagnosis, patient disposition, treatment, and prevalence of injuries from 2018 to the present.
