文摘
Background. There have been no population-based studies estimating the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) in an insured population. There is also little information on how well routinely collected health status information predicts IPV risk. Many women now obtain health care from providers who are members of a managed care organization (MCO). To justify efforts to routinely screen for IPV, it is essential to know the prevalence of IPV in this growing population and to identify correlates of IPV among female MCO members.
