Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults who have experienced intimate partner violence and are receiving care in emergency departments or hospital/clinic settings.
✕Less likely to help
Patients without IPV exposure or without access to EHR-linked care may not benefit.
What this research studies
This project will combine large national electronic health record data with AI to identify personalized health risks for intimate partner violence survivors. It aims to develop and validate a Family Violence Health Risk Assessment Program (FAVORAP) that incorporates family and relationship context into personalized care plans. The team will implement the tool in real-world hospital settings to support clinicians in communicating risk and coordinating follow-up care for survivors and their families.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could help clinicians better anticipate health risks for IPV survivors and connect them to tailored support and services.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work has shown AI-based risk prediction can augment clinical decision-making in complex patient populations.
