Session: State-level Interventions for Intimate Partner Violence
3089.0: Monday, November 8, 2004: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
Oral
State-level Interventions for Intimate Partner Violence
Violence against women is a significant problem for women in the U.S. and throughout the world. Consider these statistics: 1 out of 4 American women will experience intimate partner violence; 1 out of 6 women will be raped; 1 in 5 female high school students reports being physically or sexually abused by a dating partner; and women are up to 10 times more likely than men to be victimized by an intimate partner. Further, only about 1 in 5 female victims of physical violence ever seek professional medical care and only about half of incidents are reported to police. Racial, ethnic, and cultural influences are also not well understood. While African American women experience more violence than White women ages 20-24, the same level of victimization is observed at all other age categories. Early identification and intervention are important steps to save women's lives. The presentations during this session will provide information on state level activities to address intimate partner violence.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to: (1) Describe the process and challenges of implementing and evaluating clinic-based and community-based IPV screening and interventions; (2) Discuss strategies for addressing violence against women, including partnerships with IPV-related service organizations, health care clinics, and community-based approaches; and (3) Identify opportunities for future research and interventions to aid early detection of violence against women and decrease the incidence and prevalence.
