Intimate Partner Violence: Dynamics and Effects

This two-part learning series teaches clinicians about the dynamics of intimate partner violence (IPV) and the health problems associated with it while providing practical, evidence-based steps to implement safe and supportive interventions for patients exposed to IPV and exploitation. Health professionals play a key role in supporting the health and safety of IPV survivors, and when, where, and how clinicians ask about IPV matter.
