At A Glance
|
A National Academies committee was tasked with identifying essential health care services for women related to intimate partner violence (IPV) during steady state conditions, determining whether the essential health care services related to IPV differ during public health emergencies (PHEs), and identifying strategies to sustain access to those essential health care services during PHEs. This report, Essential Health Care Services Addressing Intimate Partner Violence, presents findings from research and deliberations and lays out recommendations for leaders of health care systems, federal agencies, health care providers, emergency planners, and those involved in IPV research.

Description
|
| This book is a consensus study report focusing specifically on the essential healthcare services for intimate partner violence (IPV), first during steady state conditions, then in the context of public health emergencies (PHEs). It is the evidence-based result of an extensive review of the literature, information from commissioned papers, and presentations by experts in IPV-related care, and recommendations from the World Health Organization, and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, among others. |
|
|
Purpose
|
| This book aims to identify essential healthcare services for women related to IPV, to determine whether those services differ during PHEs, and create strategies to sustain access to those services during PHEs. This report was written by a multidisciplinary panel of experts in response to the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA's) Office of Women's Health (OWH)'s request, in light of the finding that there is an increase in the prevalence and severity of IPV against women due to PHEs. IPV results in several serious and high-prevalence health effects. |
|
|
Audience
|
| The report's recommendations address the policy makers of HRSA, the Administration for Strategic Preparedness, as well as federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government emergency response leaders. The book is also appropriate for nursing, medical, public health, social service, and public policy practitioners, as well as students and faculty in these services. The committee members are professors and practitioners with a wide range of expertise in women's health, public health emergency preparedness and response, and community-based organizations. |
|
|
Features
|
| The book documents the essential care services for IPV; and the phased return of these services during a public health emergency. It expands upon its outlined recommendations through chapters devoted to physical and mental health conditions related to IPV; the effect of health disparities on women involved in IPV as well as PHEs; and the systems, training, and supplies required for addressing IPV in Emergencies. It introduces promising models for IPV care including examples demonstrating the inclusion of community members in developing and participating in Coordinated Community Response teams, the use of technology in screening and treating IPV, and training programs for law enforcement and emergency response teams. The authors find difficulty in drawing strong conclusions from research on IPV due to inconsistencies of terminology and in turn provide advice to future researchers. |
|
|
Assessment
|
| This is an up to date and comprehensive presentation of essential healthcare services related to IPV and how these services should be integrated into disaster planning on a local and federal level. Because so much of this care is currently missing or fragmented, it is a vital resource for anyone involved in IPV services. |
