The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that
intimate partner violence (IPV) is experienced by approximately 36% of
U.S. women and 33% of U.S. men during their lifetime. Studies have
also suggested that people with HIV (PWH) experience higher levels of
lifetime violence and trauma than the general population, and victims
of IPV are at an increased risk of acquiring HIV.
This webinar will discuss challenges and opportunities in screening
for IPV in vulnerable populations and provide tools and resources to
support to victims of IPV.
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize the prevalence of IPV among other vulnerable populations.
- Describe challenges in screening for IPV in other vulnerable populations.
- Discuss opportunities for and best practices in screening for IPV
in other populations.
- Discuss effective interventions and treatment options for persons
who have experienced IPV.
