“…In a previous study, 15 we accessed and analyzed national EHR data through the Explorys platform (Explorys Inc., an IBM company), specifically utilizing the “Explorys Enterprise Performance Management (EPM): Explore” web application to identify diseases which seem to be more prevalent among victims of IPV than the general US population. Explorys is comprised of EHR, EMR, insurance claims, and billing data sources.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious problem with devastating health consequences. Screening procedures may overlook relationships between IPV and negative health effects. To identify IPV-associated women's health issues, we mined national, aggregated de-identified electronic health record data and compared female health issues of domestic abuse (DA) versus non-DA records, identifying terms significantly more frequent for the DA group. After coding these terms into 28 broad categories, we developed a network map to determine strength of relationships between categories in the context of DA, finding that acute conditions are strongly connected to cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, gynecological, and neurological conditions among victims.

“…Examining the prevalence of TBI among a group of domestic violence victims, researchers found that 88% of the women studied experienced more than one injury, and 81% of them had experienced loss of consciousness due to their injuries [54]. Mounting research indicates that mental health challenges domestic violence victims face may be even more disheartening [57][58][59]. Results from a meta-analysis of 207 studies show that depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder are common among domestic violence victims [57].…”

Background One of the most vulnerable populations to COVID-19 is women. Multiple factors associated with violence against women (i.e. sexual assault, domestic violence, homelessness) create an increased vulnerability for women during the COVID pandemic. Women also constitute the majority of older nursing home residents and healthcare workers (e.g., nurses), who have the most pronounced exposure to COVID-19. These factors combined with resource restraints like rationing and lack of access to healthcare can further exacerbate women’s physical and psychological health issues. While literature has well-documented challenges that women face during COVID-19, there is a lack of evidence-based solutions that have the potential to mitigate these difficulties. Therefore, to address this issue, we aim to conduct a systematic review of the literature to: (1) identify interventions designed for women in the context of pandemics, (2) describe the characteristics and effects of these interventions concerning the distinctive traits of women and pandemics, and (3) present evidence-based health solutions for women to mitigate challenges they face amid and beyond COVID-19. Methods A systematic review of literature will be conducted on databases including PubMed, PsycINFO on the EBSCO platform, CINAHL on the EBSCO platform, and Scopus, based on a search strategy developed in consultation with an experienced medical librarian. Titles, abstracts, and full-text articles will be screened against eligibility criteria developed a priori. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses procedures will be adopted as the reporting framework, and data extracted (e.g., intervention details) will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary research team. Results NA for now—This is a protocol study. Conclusions Findings of this study will fill an important void in the literature. Considering that, in times of pandemic, women are especially subject to grim health disparities, like pronounced exposure to COVID-19, reproductive health issues, elevated domestic violence, increased mental health challenges, and lack of access to healthcare services, the need for evidence-based health solutions that could address these unique challenges is of paramount importance. A comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and effects of health solutions available to women in the context of pandemics can also help researchers identify areas of improvement regarding intervention design and development. This may further safeguard women’s health and wellbeing amid pandemics like COVID-19 and beyond. Study Protocol Registration: PROSPERO CRD42020194003

“…Data from the CDC's National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey also suggest that IPV is associated with a myriad of negative consequences among survivors, with 27% of women and 11% of men reporting a negative impact (Smith et al., ). Victims of partner violence can experience a range of adverse health outcomes, including physical and mental health problems (Black, ; Breiding, Black, & Ryan, ; Coker, Smith, Bethea, King, & McKeown, ; Karakurt, Patel, Whiting, & Koyutürk, ; Kastello et al., ; Ulloa & Hammett, ), poor maternal health and pregnancy outcomes (Karakurt et al., ; Leone et al., ), and increased likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors (Breiding et al., ; CDC, ). Survivors also report that experiencing IPV negatively affects their ability to attend work/school, receive required medical care and legal assistance, and obtain housing services (Smith et al., ).…”

Highlights• There is limited evidence on how to effectively prevent IPV, especially at the community level.• There is also a need to share existing IPV prevention work broadly with the field. • CDC's DELTA FOCUS recipients contribute to a national-level IPV prevention dialogue.• DELTA FOCUS recipients took a leadership role with cross-sector prevention stakeholders.• Lessons learned may inform how programmatic investments are used in the field of IPV prevention.Published 2019. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.Abstract Little systematic information exists about how community-based prevention efforts at the state and local levels contribute to our knowledge of intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) DELTA FOCUS program funds ten state domestic violence coalitions to engage in IPV primary prevention through approaches addressing the outer layers of the social ecology. This paper explored the ways in which DELTA FOCUS recipients have contributed to a national-level dialogue on IPV prevention. Previously undefined, the authors define national-level dialogue and retrospectively apply the CDC Science Impact Framework (SIF) to describe contributions DELTA FOCUS recipients made to it. Authors conducted document review and qualitative content analysis of recipient semi-annual progress reports from 2014 to 2016 (N = 40) using NVivo. A semi-structured coding scheme was applied across the five SIF domains: Creating Awareness, Catalyzing Action, Effecting Change, Disseminating Science, and Shaping the Future. All recipients sought to promote IPV prevention by communicating and sharing with non-CDC-funded state coalitions, national partners, and other IPV stakeholders information and resources accumulated through practice-based prevention efforts. Through implementing and disseminating their prevention work in myriad ways, DELTA FOCUS recipients are building practice-based evidence on community-based IPV prevention.
