Neighborhood Violence Impacts Disease Control and Surveillance: Case Study of Cali, Colombia from 2014 to 2016.

Arboviruses are responsible for a large burden of disease globally and are thus subject to intense epidemiological scrutiny.

Violence impedes surveillance and delivery of health and preventative services and affects an individual's health-related behaviors when survival takes priority.
