“…29,[33][34][35][36] Because the majority of studies did not estimate IPV experienced in the past 5 years, it was difficult to compare these findings with existing literature. Consistent with prior studies, we found that rates of IPV were higher for women reporting on a past relationship (in the prior 5 years; 25.6%) than on a current relationship (13.3%).…”

The intimate partner violence screening technique we used was feasible to implement, acceptable to women seeking health care at the targeted clinics, and indicated a high proportion of women reporting intimate partner violence in the past 5 years, with a majority of those women stating that such violence was a problem in their relationships. These findings demonstrated the viability of the screening technique, which supports the growing importance of implementing intimate partner violence screenings in clinical settings in order to reduce the prevalence of violence in intimate relationships.

“…It can be a challenge for social workers in a busy service environment to assess for partner violence when their primary task focuses on another area (McNutt, Carlson, Rose, & Robinson, 2002). Furthermore, the structural arrangements among different fields of practice or service systems can make it difficult for battered women to get their needs met and may also impede social workers from seeing "the whole woman" and her context (Gondolf, 1998).…”

Knowledge about where battered women present for services and the violence, biopsychosocial, and demographic factors associated with their help seeking can provide social workers with guidance in anticipating needs among this portion of their clientele. The authors examined the service contact patterns of a sample of battered women (N = 448) following an incident of partner violence that triggered legal involvement. Significant group differences, tested with t tests and chi squares, between women who sought compared with those who did not seek services were found on partner violence exposure and biopsychosocial factors. Correlations and regression analyses of relationships among partner violence and biopsychosocial and demographic factors with helpseeking indices show how battered women's needs differentially relate across a range of service types. Results show distinctive profiles of needs and resources among battered women who seek violence, legal, health, economic, substance abuse, and religious helping services.Keywords battered women; depression; health; help seeking; partner violence; social support; substance abuse Although they may not be aware of it, social workers see battered and endangered women in their practices every day. Battered women frequently seek support from their social networks and human services providers for a range of life problems without calling attention ©2005 National Association of Social Works Correspondence about this article should be addressed to Dr. Rebecca J.

Comparatively few battered women seek services from providers who specialize in domestic violence. Social workers span a broad spectrum of human services agencies and are well positioned to facilitate abused women's entry into service systems equipped to address the violence in their lives (Nurius & Asplund, 1994).If most women in violent relationships are not seeking domestic violence services, where are they going for help? What are their needs? What can we learn from violence exposure, biopsychosocial, and demographic factors to better anticipate their needs across diverse services? We addressed these questions through an investigation of services help-seeking efforts in a sample of battered women following an incident of intimate partner violence. Our goal is to provide practitioners with detailed information about the needs, resources, and characteristics of battered women as they seek help, predominantly from service providers other than violence specialists.Research generally indicates that women cope with partner violence through informal means as long as possible (Coker, Derrick, Lumpkin, Aldrich, & Oldendick, 2000). As a result, battered women who seek formal services from agencies and providers may have longstanding needs and severe problems (Hutchison & Hirschel, 1998). Partner violence has a radiating impact, with "first orde...

“…Unfortunately, fewer than half of providers routinely ask about IPV. 9,10 Factors associated with timing to forced sex disclosure as well as to whom this information is disclosed are needed to develop interventions that maximize detection and therefore minimize sequelae associated with assault. Limited research is available that examines associations between timing of disclosure of forced sexual experiences and salient other characteristics such as demographic factors and date-specific behaviors.…”
