“…Interviews in the current study revealed that the additional flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., receiving the intervention via telehealth) across both interventions was important, feasible, acceptable, and safe. Trauma-informed telehealth strategies (use of headphones for participants; environmental safety checks that included yes/no questions to assess for presence of another adult or child over 2 years of age; participant use of code words to change the subject if a partner or other person enters the room or is in earshot) were applied to bolster women’s privacy, confidentiality, safety, and comfort addressing IPV via telehealth [ 53 , 54 ]. We also brainstormed with women, when relevant, locating private and safe locations for participating in IPV intervention sessions.…”

“…We also brainstormed with women, when relevant, locating private and safe locations for participating in IPV intervention sessions. Women sometimes took calls or videos from their (parked) cars which we endearingly referred to ‘counseling in cars’ [ 53 , 54 ]. This demonstrates support for delivering RISE and other IPV interventions face-to-face and via telehealth, which is important not only in the context of a pandemic or other public health crisis and is often compatible with patients’ busy and often hectic lives [ 55 ].…”

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem that is commonly experienced by women and associated with psychosocial health issues. Recovering from IPV through Strengths and Empowerment (RISE) is a brief, clinician-administered, variable-length (1–6 sessions), modular, individualized psychosocial counseling intervention developed for women experiencing IPV. We present qualitative feedback and quantitative helpfulness ratings from women patients of the Veterans Health Administration who completed a randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing RISE to a clinician-administered advocacy-based Enhanced Care as Usual (ECAU; a single structured session consisting of psychoeducation, safety-planning, resources, and referrals). Methods: 58 participants (Mage = 39.21) completed post-intervention semi-structured qualitative interviews, including helpfulness ratings, at two follow-up assessments (10- and 14-weeks post-enrollment) to assess the acceptability, usefulness, and perceived fit of the interventions for women’s needs. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a hybrid deductive-inductive analytic approach. Results: While both the RISE and ECAU interventions were deemed helpful (interventions were rated as ‘highly helpful’ by 77% of RISE and 52% of ECAU participants), differences were identified in perceived impacts of the intervention, application of content, approach to patient-centeredness, and implementation recommendations. Conclusions: Findings shed light on women Veterans’ experiences and preferences for IPV psychosocial counseling interventions. Such knowledge can inform evidence-based, trauma-informed, and individualized care for women Veterans who experience IPV and may have relevance to other populations of women who experience IPV.

“…Availability of telemedicine was critical to maintain connection and provide medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. 7 Despite connection to their health care providers, teen parents in this sample experienced gaps in reproductive health care. Early stay-at-home orders and instructions to defer care likely contributed to changes in birth control access and methods.…”

“…Further, individuals who experience IPV may prefer in-person services due to privacy and safety concerns. Although telehealth services do not represent the ideal modality for treatment, a number of special considerations should be made to ensure privacy and safety (Gerber et al, 2020). Specifically, providers should first obtain informed consent for screening, treatment, and safety planning via telehealth for IPV.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a considerable public health problem that has garnered increased attention in the past several years. Prevalence rates of IPV in the United States are high, with upwards of one in three women and nine men experiencing IPV during their lifetime (Smith et al., 2018). The onset of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought statewide stay at home directives and nationwide recommendations for social distancing that aim to reduce infections but are also likely to inadvertently influence intimate partners and families in ways that increase rates and consequences of IPV. Indeed, previous research has shown that violence increases during and after disease outbreaks (Peterman et al., 2020), but little is written about reasons for the surges. Thus, this paper serves to discuss reasons for a rise in IPV experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and current and future opportunities for prevention and intervention.
