【 摘 要 】

This paper discusses violence prevention possibilities that could be raised in emergency. It draws on the research data that analysed medical care for the victims of "external causes" in two public emergency hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. This work deals briefly with the main "external causes" (among accidents and violence) which were treated there and emphasizes the care given to the victims of child abuse, battered women and attempts of suicides. The research methodology articulates the descriptive study of quantitative base to a qualitative approach developed through field observation and interviews. Starting from the empiric data, it discusses the medical care received by the victims and the possible prevention opportunities and the necessary conditions for this task.
