I don't and never have had a problem accurately assessing for abuse, (neither do my coworkers.) Always the stickier part of the situation is encouraging the victim and their children to seek safety. This comment above is why we started the nonprofit and that's exactly what it is designed to do. However, after addressing thousands of providers coast-to-coast, another need emerged: an assessment tool. So if you are fine with this, you are ahead of most. As far as tips for getting the victim to "wake-up," act on your referral and/or seek safety, we can definitely help you with that. Feel free to write to me at [email protected] or call 888-782-0723. We can offer your hospital a CNE/CME in-service on the subject.

If you had an accurate and quick way to diagnose intimate partner violence, would that be something you might be interested in? I represent a nonprofit organization Partners in Prevention and we help healthcare providers recognize domestic abuse and clinically manage patients who are victims of violence. We are exploring the possibility of making an online interactive domestic abuse assessment screen available to providers. I appreciate your input. Dr. King
