Intimate partner violence (IPV) occurs
frequently and has serious health, economic, and social
consequences. Given the seriousness of this problem, numerous
professional and health care organizations have recommended routine
screening of women for IPV by health care providers in primary care
settings. We propose a randomized controlled trial that will
recruit 3680 women in a public obsetrics, gynecology, and family
planning clinic. Women attending this clinic tend to be African
American and of lower socioeconomic status. For this study (the
Main Study), women will be randomly allocated to one of three arms:
1) screened for IPV, and if disclosing IPV, provided information on
available IPV services; 2) not screened and all receiving
information on available IPV services; or 3) a control group that
will not be screened nor receive information on available IPV
services.
