Type II violence-related injuries are a subset of the total number of Type II events

Rate = number of injuries/100 Full-time equivalents (FTEs)/year annualized

Analyses accounted for variability in group rates at each 6-month interval within the 3-year pre-intervention period (September 2010-August 2013)
