Screening for and experiences of intimate partner violence in the United States before, during, and after pregnancy, 2016-2019.
The objective of this study was to measure rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) screening during the perinatal period among people experiencing physical violence in the US. Data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System was used to describe the incidence of physical IPV before or during pregnancy. The results indicated that nearly half of those reporting physical IPV were not screened before or after pregnancy. The authors concluded that public health efforts to improve maternal health must address universal screening for IPV as well as access to care.

Few aggressive or violent incidents are associated with the Use of HIV self-tests to screen sexual partners among key populations.

The cohort studied were participants in ISUM, a randomized, controlled trial of self- and partner-testing in New York City and San Juan, PR. Out of 114 (88%) of intervention participants who were assessed at follow-up that used the self-tests, only 6% who asked a partner in person to test reported that at least one of their partners got physically violent. In total 16 (2%) of the partners reacted violently.

Using the technology acceptance model to develop startsmart: mHealth for screening, brief intervention, and referral for risk and protective factors in pregnancy.
The purpose of this study was to develop StartSmart, a mobile health (mHealth) intervention to support evidence-based prenatal screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment for risk and protective factors in pregnancy. Expert clinicians provided guidance on the screening instruments, resources, and practice guidelines. Clinicians suggested identifying specific prenatal visits for the screening. Patients reported that the tablet-based screening was useful to promote adherence to guidelines and provided suggestions for improvement.

Screening for intimate partner violence, elder abuse, and abuse of vulnerable adults.
This Putting Prevention into Practice case study demonstrates how a U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation can used by clinicians. This case study uses the Screening for Intimate Partner Violence, Elder Abuse, and Abuse of Vulnerable Adults recommendation as an example. Three quiz questions are given which directly link to the recommendations. The questions involve screening guidelines, screening instruments, and follow-up if there is a positive screening and detailed answers are provided.
