Universal Screening for Intimate Partner Violence
Start with a normalizing statement
“Because violence is so common in many women’s lives and because there’s help available for women being abused, I now ask every patient about domestic violence.”
The Partner Violence Screen
- Have you been hit, kicked, slapped, punched or otherwise hurt by someone in the past year?
- Do you feel safe in your current relationship?
- Is there a partner from a previous relationship who is making you feel unsafe now?
