“…35,36 This research suggests that routine screening for IPV in the absence of a routine intervention is not effective in reducing IPV mortality and morbidity, 34 A recent systematic review of 16 ''brief'' (described as 3 or fewer hours of contact) IPV interventions delivered in health care settings identified several common components: safety planning, increasing motivation, and setting goals to reduce IPV and improve safety, linking women to IPV-related services and increasing social support. 37 Because of significant methodological limitations, only six were included in the effectiveness review.…”

Substance use and/or disorders (SUDs) have been identified as a significant correlate of intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure and present complex issues that intersect with the topography of IPV, attendant mental health, and physical co-morbidities and may pose barriers to primary care-and other agency-based screening and intervention efforts. Despite substantial research indicating significantly higher rates of all types and severity of IPV victimization among women with SUDs and bidirectional associations between partner or selfuse of drugs or alcohol and IPV victimization, effective screening, brief interventions, coordinated systems of care, and treatment approaches to address these co-occurring problems remain very limited. We integrated select research examining the intersection of IPV victimization and SUDs and several comorbidities that have significant public health impact and provided recommendations for scaling up targeted interventions to redress these co-occurring problems among women in primary, emergency, and other care settings.

“…[3] However, more recently a rigorously conducted randomised controlled trial (the WEAVE study) found no difference in primary outcomes between women who were routinely screened for violence and a control group. [4] This trial, in addition to prior evidence, [5,6] has led to the expert conclusion that universal screening for IPV is ineffective in improving health. [7] Although screening is able to identify women experiencing IPV, uptake of interventions is impeded by numerous barriers and is often low, and current intervention approaches have not yet proved beneficial in asymptomatic women.…”

“…43,44 Understanding the integration of screening with the support services that follow emerged as a central research gap. Short of the KP model, whose systems approach enables tracking patients after intervention and referral, little research exists on what happens for women after a positive screen, yet tracking this process is central to understanding the impact of screening, as many harm-reduction and safety enhancement steps occur outside of the clinical setting.…”

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is prevalent among adolescent and adult women, with significant physical, sexual, and mental health consequences. In 2011, the Institute of Medicine's Clinical Preventive Services for Women consensus report recommended universal screening for violence as a component of women's preventive services; this policy has been adopted by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). These policy developments require that effective clinic-based interventions be identified, easily implemented, and taken to scale. Methods: To foster dialogue about implementing effective interventions, we convened a symposium entitled ''Responding to Violence Against Women: Emerging Evidence, Implementation Science, and Innovative Interventions,'' on May 21, 2012. Drawing on multidisciplinary expertise, the agenda integrated data on the prevalence and health impact of IPV violence, with an overview of the implementation science framework, and a panel of innovative IPV screening interventions. Recommendations were generated for developing, testing, and implementing clinic-based interventions to reduce violence and mitigate its health impact. Results: The strength of evidence supporting specific IPV screening interventions has improved, but the optimal implementation and dissemination strategies are not clear. Implementation science, which seeks to close the evidence to program gap, is a useful framework for improving screening and intervention uptake and ensuring the translation of research findings into routine practice. Conclusions: Findings have substantial relevance to the broader research, clinical, and practitioner community. Our conference proceedings fill a timely gap in knowledge by informing practitioners as they strive to implement universal IPV screening and guiding researchers as they evaluate the success of implementing IPV interventions to improve women's health and well-being.

Effect of Screening for Partner Violence on Women's Quality of Life

Abstract: Context-Although partner violence screening has been endorsed by many health organizations, there is insufficient evidence that it has beneficial health outcomes.
