DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

Violence in Intimate Relationships and the Practicing Internist: New "Disease" or New Agenda?

Elaine J. Alpert, MD, MPH

15 November 1995 | Volume 123 Issue 10 | Pages 774-781

Domestic violence is endemic in U.S. society and is seen in nearly every venue of medical care. A history of abuse should be considered and routinely queried in all women who present for emergency care, should be suspected in any woman who presents with an injury, and should be routinely screened for in primary care settings.
