Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • IPV involves behaviors and actions used to control or harm a current or former romantic partner, including physical violence, sexual violence, emotional abuse, intimidation, coercion, and isolation.1
  • IPV occurs in both same-sex and opposite-sex partnerships and may occur between current or former dating partners, spouses, or cohabiting partners. Women and transgender individuals are the most likely populations to experience IPV.
  • A team-based, patient-centered, and trauma-informed approach to patients who have experienced IPV is paramount. The PEARR tool tool and CUES intervention are useful resources for guiding trauma-informed care.
  • Clinicians should suspect IPV in patients who present with multiple injuries, injury histories that do not match physical findings, or significant delays in seeking medical care for their injuries.
