Linda Ellen Saltzman (September 8, 1949 – March 9, 2005) was an American public health researcher who worked at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) from 1984 until her death in 2005.[1] She was especially known for her research on domestic violence, which has been credited with helping to define the entire field.[2] She helped define what intimate partner and sexual violence meant, improving data collection and public health surveillance on violence against women.[3] She has been described as "...one of the CDC’s top experts on violence, and one of the violence prevention movement’s most trusted allies."[4] In 2007, the CDC established the Linda Saltzman New Investigator Award in her memory; it is awarded biennially to a new researcher in the field of domestic violence.[4]
