Topic Focus
Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Resources
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office of Women's Health (OWH) is focusing on violence prevention as a priority area. OWH leads the 2017-2020 HRSA Strategy to Address Intimate Partner Violence, which outlines the actions that 14 HRSA bureaus and offices will take to address IPV, both individually and collaboratively, as well as in partnership with federal agencies and grantees. The strategy is a new framework for the agency to address this social determinant of health and advance HRSA’s overall mission to improve health and achieve health equity through access to quality services, a skilled workforce, and innovative programs. HRSA's chief dental officer will work with OWH to identify intersections to better address IPV through HRSA’s current oral health portfolio in alignment with the strategic framework, and will work with HRSA’s oral health workgroup to facilitate outreach to key oral health stakeholders and partners who have interest in education and training on screening for IPV and family violence during oral health care visits.
The HRSA strategy is cataloged in the OHRC library. Other resources include
- Prevalence of selected maternal and child health indicators–United States, all sites, Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), 2012 and 2013, a document from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that reports on prevalence of intimate partner violence among other selected maternal and child health indicators, nationally and by state
- Intimate partner violence and elder maltreatment: Implications for the dental professional (rev. ed.), a continuing education course for oral health professionals that provides information about IPV and elder maltreatment (EM) and outlines responsibilities for recognizing, reporting, treating, and preventing IPV and EM
- IPV resources from the Center for Integrated Health Solutions, a joint project between HRSA and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration
- Virtual intimate partner violence toolkit for health centers and social service organizations
