  • Title: Intimate partner violence.
    Author: Zolotor AJ, Denham AC, Weil A.
    Journal: Prim Care; 2009 Mar; 36(1):167-79, x. PubMed ID: 19231608.
    Abstract:
    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a common problem, affecting large numbers of women, men, and children who present to primary care practices. It takes on many forms, including psychologic/emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, and its effects on the health of victims and their children are varied. Although many primary care physicians may be uncomfortable inquiring about IPV, a knowledge of patients' IPV victimization may help physicians develop a better understanding of patients' presenting symptoms and health risks, form more effective therapeutic relationships, and work toward reducing the myriad health risks associated with IPV.
