IntImate Partner VIolence: encouragIng DIsclosure
anD referral In the PrImary care settIng
• Intimate partner violence (IPV) is often an invisible concern that can seriously threaten health and safety.
• Consider screening patients with the 4-question Abuse Assessment Screen
o at initial or routine visits,
o when a patient discusses a new relationship,
o when a patient presents with trauma or concerning symptoms,
o at prenatal and immediate postpartum visits (for female patients).
• Encourage disclosure of IPV through culturally sensitive inquiry and routine dialogue.
• If abuse is disclosed, validate patient experiences, provide a safety and clinical assessment, and document
findings thoroughly.
• Promptly refer all patients who disclose IPV to appropriate services.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pattern of coercion or violence used to establish and maintain power and control over a partner. IPV can encompass physical,
sexual, psychological, and economic abuse by a current
or former partner and can have lifelong impacts on mental
and physical health.1-8
In New York City, 284,000 adults (4.3%) report ever
fearing an intimate partner,9 and 10% of public high
school students reported physical violence in their dating
relationships in the past year.10 While IPV occurs in all
demographic groups, the highest rates are reported in
women, especially during pregnancy,11 and in people
aged 18 to 24 years.12 People of color, sexual minorities,
immigrants, people with low income, and those with
physical disabilities are also at elevated risk (Box 1).2,10,12,13
IPV tends to escalate over time, often beginning with
controlling tactics and verbal abuse.8,14 People often
experience their first episode of IPV in adolescence,
making early intervention key.14
