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. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is
requesting approval of revisions resulting from findings after
conducting the Pretest.

Investigation General
The proposed changes are based
on findings from the Pretest that showed high number of Spanish
speakers at recruitment clinics, a higher prevalence of reported
exposure to intimate partner violence, and redundancy of the
20-item mental health scale with other measures being used. This
revision results in a reduction of burden hours.
