“…The perpetrator may try to limit his partner's access to care, sabotage his partner's medical care, and manipulate the health-care provider in order to hurt the intended intimate partner victim. [114][115][116] Holding such a controlling and manipulative perpetrator accountable for his behavior can be challenging. There are published guidelines on working with couples experiencing IPV in both medical and mental health practices ( 108,113,117 ).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a common and devastating problem affecting the health of women, men, and children. Most health-care research focuses on the effects of IPV on women and children and addressing IPV with women in the health-care setting. Less is known about addressing IPV with men in the health-care setting. This article reviews the challenges in interpreting research on IPV in men, its prevalence and health effects in men, and the arguments for addressing IPV with men in the health-care setting. It introduces pilot guidelines that are based on the existing literature and expert opinion.KEY WORDS: intimate partner violence; domestic violence; victimization; perpetration; battering; men.

“…Intimate partners who are physically violent may interfere with the receipt of healthcare services by their female counterparts (McCloskey, Williams, Lichter et al, 2007). Existing literature in South Asia and Africa suggests that presence of violence in a household may reduce the utilization of maternal and child health care services resulting in poor health status of both the mother and the child (Monemi, Pena, Ellsberg et al, 2003).…”

Spousal violence emerged as a major public health concern over the past few decades as its consequences on the health of victims are profound. Infliction of violence during pregnancy is even more detrimental as it might cause serious injuries to women and their unborn children. Violence during pregnancy can restrict access to proper health care and affect the health of mother and child. However, the role of spousal violence on utilization of pregnancy care services is not well explored in India where both fertility and spousal violence are high. In the present study, we used data of selected North and South Indian states from the National Family Health Survey (2005Survey ( -2006 to examine the relationship between experience of spousal violence by young married women and utilization of maternal and child health care services. A marked regional variation was observed in MCH care utilization and levels of violence, where the South Indian states performed better than the North. Spousal violence was a significant factor determining MCH care use. Women who had experienced any form of physical/sexual violence were less likely to receive full ante natal care than non-abused women and the association was stronger in the South. Women experiencing any physical/sexual violence were also less likely to avail institutional delivery in the North. Emotional violence had similar constraining effects on MCH care use in the South. Integration of violence screening and counselling with MCH programs could be helpful to address the needs of abused pregnant women and provide essential care.

“…While sexually assaulted victims may utilize more emergency health care services, 37 both in the immediate post-assault period and later, they are less likely to access general preventive health services in primary care clinics and offices. Low utilization of routine health services may reflect the larger psychopathology of abusive partners who prevent the creation of a therapeutic alliance with the primary care physician, partner interference with health care, 38 and control over household finances, including health care spending.…”
