Statistics are directly relevant to the planning of health promotion interventions because they are paramount for identifying the groups that need such interventions in the first place. Learning more about a given group is actually one of the main uses of statistics in public health (Bruce, Pope, & Stanistreet, 2018). For example, if one aims to design a health promotion intervention against intimate partner violence (IPV), one needs to know which, if any, groups are disproportionally affected by it. Data from the Center for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) demonstrate that women are approximately 2.5 times as likely to be victims of IPV as men (CDC, 2020). Thus, statistics demonstrate that intervention against IPV has to primarily target women as a more vulnerable demographic.
