“…What was reflected in this study was also supported by Tjaden and Thoennes (2000): A majority of the male victims do not report their incidents because they do not think that outside people can help them resolve their internal conflicts. They may think that their problem is too personal to handle (Allen, Lehrner, Mattison, Miles, & Russell, 2007). As a result, men choose to minimize their abuse and try to avoid social stigma against their inability to protect themselves; therefore, they generally hide or deny having been abused.…”

Sixty‐eight agency representatives in the United States completed a survey to identify issues of male victims in partner abuse: half referenced responses from male clients and the other half responses from male victims who were their family members, friends, colleagues, or themselves. Almost 25% revealed that male victims did not utilize social services. For those men who used services, individual counseling and legal advice were most popular; group counseling and sharing through the Internet were least used. Qualitative data found five themes that triggered men's hard times: service target perception, shame and embarrassment, denial, stigmatization, and fear. The study resulted in three recommendations: (a) increase public awareness and education; (b) provide gender‐inclusive practice and services, and (c) strengthen training for service providers working with domestic violence male victims. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…The justified intervention frame includes reasons for legitimizing intervention in violence and developing shared practices and professional tools for intervention. Written screening policies, standardized procedures for screening, and incorporating screening as a routine and nonelective part of the medical encounter have been shown in some studies to increase the identification of violence (Allen, Lehrner, Mattison, Miles, & Russell, 2007;O'Campo, Kirst, Tsamis, Chambers, & Ahmad, 2011;Soglin, Bauchat, Soglin, & Martin, 2009).…”

Violence is a serious problem, and social and health care providers are in a key position for implementing successful interventions. This qualitative study of 6 focus groups with professionals (n D 30) examines the health care professionals' ways of framing a domestic violence intervention. Of special interest here is how professionals see their own roles in the process of recognizing and helping victims of domestic violence. By using Erving Goffman's frame analysis, this study identifies several frames that either: a) emphasize the obstacles to intervention and justify nonintervention, or on the contrary, b) question these obstacles and find justifications for intervention. The possibilities for intervention are further explored by analyzing the ways in which the dynamics between the different frames allow redefinition of domestic violence interventions. Despite the challenges involved in a domestic violence intervention, there seems to be potential for change in personal attitudes and reform of professional practices. The research findings underline the role of social and health care professionals as members of a larger chain of service providers working collaboratively against domestic violence. Implications for practice and directions in policy and future research are suggested.

“…Researchers report that displaying posters and placing pamphlets in physician practice settings helped improve physician screening practices (Allen, Lehrner, Mattison, Miles, & Russell, 2007;Stayton & Duncan, 2005). Conversely, researchers identified a lack of IPV-related resources as a barrier to screening and intervention (Garimella, Plichta, Houseman, & Garzon, 2000;Reid & Glasser, 1997;Rodriguez et al, 1999).…”

“…The increased likelihood of screening for IPV among physicians also is associated with past IPV training (Allen et al, 2007;Elliott et al, 2002;Goff, Byrd, Shelton, & Parcel, 2001;Parsons et al, 1995;Sitterding et al, 2003), awareness of professional guidelines about IPV (Parsons et al, 1995), and support received from physicians' workplace for IPV screening (Allen et al, 2007). Researchers also suggest that simply perceiving IPV as a health care issue does not ensure that physicians will screen for IPV (Allen et al, 2007).…”

We explored how Korean American (KA) physicians in the Los Angeles area respond in their medical practice to Korean immigrant women with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV). Twenty physicians were recruited and interviewed in-depth. Grounded theory analyses revealed that KA physicians' responses to IPV ranged from denying signs of IPV and trivializing IPV to acknowledging IPV. Physician response was related to the degree to which he or she was enculturated in mainstream medical practice norms in the United States. We advance current knowledge on physicians' IPV screening and intervention practices by exploring the practices of KA physicians, in particular.
