“…Several papers have been published where the observations were made by forensic physicians/dentists, or medical practitioners specially trained in DV, and it is suggested that they may be more successful at identifying injuries than non-specialist practitioners (Reijnders et al, 2006;Tam et al, 2010). Additionally, there are clinical studies focusing on victims, which have examined the range and distribution of injuries in police-identified victims -people who did not self-identify as victims on admission (among others, Kothari & Rhodes, 2006)-and people referred to specialist units by emergency medical providers (Hofner et al, 2009). However, it should be noted that the screening tool chosen by the care provider to 'identify' victims influences the final classification and its reliability (Halpern et al, 2005(Halpern et al, , 2009), a cautionary lesson for archaeology.…”

“…Therefore, the collection of demographic data, data on the experience of violence, data on care provided, and patients' preferences and referrals is very important. The forensic nurses' notes at the VMU are considered so well collected and so rich that VMU medical researchers and expert nurses were able to conduct several exploratory studies to describe and analyze certain types of situations of violence as well as to identify the specific needs of community care for victims and the adequacy of resources currently available (Hofner, Burquier, Romain, Graz, & Mangin, 2009;Romain-Glassey, Ansermet, Hofner, Neuman, & Mangin, 2009;Romain-Glassey, Ansermet, & Ninane, 2009;Romain-Glassey et al, 2012;Romain-Glassey, Gut, Cathieni, Hofner, & Mangin, 2011). Moreover, two nurses from the VMU wrote a report on workplace violence prevention, including interviews with resource persons and recommendations for tertiary prevention, as part of the CAS training program requirements.…”
