“…The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends social needs screening and referral as part of well-child visits to promote health and health equity (American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Community Pediatrics, 2016). But implementation evidence remains limited, particularly on culturally appropriate tools and techniques to screen and refer immigrant, low-income, and other vulnerable populations to health care and community resources (Caballero et al, 2017; Prakash et al, 2019). Culture and language shape how different populations interpret effectiveness of care (Flores et al, 2000), making parent perspectives critical in identifying effective techniques for culturally responsive social needs screening and referral in pediatric care.…”

To understand Latinx parent perspectives on screening and referral approaches to identify social determinants of health and address social and material needs during well-child visits and to identify techniques that promote their engagement with these approaches. Study Design: We investigated parent perspectives and engagement with social needs screening and referral practices during well-child visits using focus group methodology. Results: We conducted 17 focus groups (n = 134 parents and other primary caregivers) with families receiving care at sites operated by eight pediatric primary care clinics. Adding social needs screening and referral shifted the social context of well-child visits for Latinx parents. Participants reported greater engagement with the practices

“…Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a troublesome and challenging occurrence worldwide and is simultaneously considered a public health issue and a social hazard with financial implications [ 1 , 2 ]. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) show that 30% to 38% of all women who have been in an intimate relationship have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from their intimate partners [ 3 ].…”

“…The main goals of this study are to provide knowledge to prevent and combat IPV against women reoccurrence, test if the previously accepted theory that IPV is recurrent and worsens over time, as well as assess the impact of the CJS on these cases. Notwithstanding the fact that violence may exist in intimate relationships regardless of the sex of the involved persons [ 13 , 14 ], in this paper, we focus on male-to-female IPV because studies show that these are the most frequently reported [ 1 , 15 ].…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is simultaneously assumed as a serious crime and a major public health issue, having recurrences as one of its main characteristics and, consequently, re-entries of some alleged offenders in the criminal justice system (CJS). The main goal of this study is to assess if in cases of female victims of IPV, violence decreases after the first entry of the alleged offender in the CJS. A retrospective study was performed based on the analysis of police reports of alleged cases of IPV during a 4-year period. The final sample (n = 1 488) was divided into two groups according to the number of entries in the CJS (single or multiple) followed by a comparative approach. Results suggest that violence decreases after the first entry of alleged offenders in the CJS. Re-entries were found in only 15.5% of the cases but they were accountable for 3.3 times more crimes on average. Besides, victims of recidivism presented more injuries and required more medical care. Thus, a small group of alleged offenders seems to be more violent and accountable for most of the IPV crimes registered in the CJS suggesting that regardless of legal sanctions aiming to deter violence, these measures may not be enough for a certain group of offenders. This study sustains the need for a predictive model to quantify the risk of repeated IPV cases within the Portuguese population.

“…The high health risks for both mothers and children are of global concern and the fact that few women voluntarily report their suffering, have made IPV screening a highlighted issue within health care. The American Academy of Paediatrics initiated advocacy for IPV screening in paediatric health care settings as early as 1998 (Prakash et al, 2019 ). However, general screening within primary child health care is under debate and national recommendations and practices concerning IPV screening vary globally.…”

Purpose This study aimed to explore child health care nurses’ clinical experiences from encounters with mothers exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV), as little research has explored this topic. Method Nine child health care nurses from two Swedish regions were interviewed. The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Results The narratives depicted the nurses’ strong commitment to, and professional relationship with, the exposed mothers. The experience of working as a nurse and having encountered IPV in clinical practice made the nurses more confident, which impacted their performance and attitude towards this topic. The ability to uphold the professional relationship was threatened by lack of support and interprofessional collaborations. Conclusions The professional relationship was central to the encounters, yet could impose an emotional burden on the nurses. While the nurses wanted to improve their knowledge of the process around the mother and child, they were happy to pass the primary responsibility over to other professionals. The findings highlight the challenge in establishing sustainable support for nurses, and building a transparent collaboration process between the health care sector and the social services, serving the well-being and safety of the mother and child.
