Critical Conversations: An Introduction to Assessing Intimate Partner Violence in Clinical Settings

This is a live interactive webinar presentation.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread public health concern. IPV prevalence is more common than some clinicians may anticipate: According to CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), approximately 41% of women and 26% of men experienced sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner and reported an intimate partner violence-related impact during their lifetime. A range of clinical impacts were commonly reported, including physical injury, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, concern for safety, fear, needing assistance from law enforcement, and missing at least one day of work. Similar to assessment of other key risk factors, such as assessing for self harm or risk of harm to others, evaluating intimate partner violence is an area that requires compassion and practice. This talk will inform attendees about intimate partner violence definitions, risk and protective factors, and will provide guidance around considerations necessary to assess for this phenomenon within clinical contexts.

At the completion of the program, participants will be able to: better define intimate partner violence identify at least one assessment tool to use to evaluate the presence of intimate partner violence identify at least one resource to provide to patients who may be experiencing or using intimate partner violence recognize some of the risk and protective factors associated with intimate partner violence.
