“…Fifty-five percent of these men had a psychiatric diagnosis and 45% had a substance abuse diagnosis. 70 IPV perpetrating men in a methadone clinic had an increased number of partners, rates of anal intercourse, and higher risk of having a partner with IV drug use history compared to nonperpetrators. 71 Male IPV perpetrators in an urban health center were less likely to use condoms during vaginal and anal sexual intercourse and more likely to have forced sexual intercourse without a condom and more female partners than non-perpetrators.…”

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.

The Role of the Physician When a Patient Discloses Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration: A Literature Review

2018

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is prevalent and has lasting impacts on the health and well-being of the entire family involved. Primary care physicians often interact with male patients who perpetrate IPV and are in a role potentially to intervene, but there is very little research and guidance about how to address perpetration of IPV in the health care setting. We reviewed the existing literature research related to physicians' interactions with male perpetrators of IPV and summarize the recommendations. If a male patient discloses IPV perpetration, physicians should assess for lethality, readiness to change, and comorbid medical conditions that could impact treatment, such as substance abuse and mental illness.

The current study aims to further our understanding of the applicability of the transtheoretical model (TM) to intimate partner violence (IPV), with particular focus on mental health symptoms (depression, posttraumatic stress disorder symptomatology, suicidal ideation) in a sample of lowincome African American women seeking medical services at an inner city emergency department. Results revealed that of the 121 abused African American women, the majority (95%) were in the precontempla-tion and contemplation stages of the change process. Further, contrary to predictions, bivariate analyses revealed those at further stages of change endorsed more severe mental health symptoms. However, a multivariate analysis of variance examining differences in level of mental health symptoms between women high and low on stages of change was inconclusive due to the small number of women at the higher stages of the TM model. These findings contribute to the growing body of literature supporting the TM as applied to IPV. Results are discussed in terms of applicability to intervention design. Keywords intimate partner violence; African American women; transtheoretical modelThe transtheoretical model (TM), also known as the stages of change model, describes an individual's readiness to change behavior. The TM suggests that to make a successful behavior change, individuals must go through a process of evaluating and increasing their readiness to
