Essential Health Care Services Addressing Intimate Partner Violence

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.Table of ContentsFront MatterSummary1 Introduction2 Intimate Partner Violence in Steady State Conditions3 Intimate Partner Violence and Public Health Emergencies4 Health Conditions Related to Intimate Partner Violence5 Essential Health Care Services for Intimate Partner Violence6 Sustaining Intimate Partner Violence Services During Public Health Emergencies7 Planning and Operationalization of Intimate Partner Violence Essential Health Care Services During Public Health Emergencies8 RecommendationsAppendix A: Emergency Declarations and Federal FrameworksAppendix B: Health Effects of IPV on Individuals Experiencing IPV Across the LifespanAppendix C: Public Session AgendasAppendix D: Biographical Sketches of Committee Members
