Title of Collaborative Activity: |
Trans-HHS Intimate Partner Violence Screening and Counseling: Research Symposium |
Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Coordinating Committee on Women's Health represents U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies and offices throughout the Department. It has identified the prevention and intervention of domestic/intimate partner violence (IPV) as a priority focus for its cross-federal work. There is a critical need for guidelines for health practitioners to effectively screen patients for IPV and provide appropriate counseling. At the request of Dr. Howard Koh, HHS convened a research symposium at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in December 2013 with the purpose of identifying gaps in research in screening and counseling for IPV in primary health care settings and to shape priorities in the national research agenda moving forward. Ultimately, the Department’s goal is to promote effective strategies for health care practitioners for screening and counseling. |
