Understanding barriers to screening for intimate partner violence during and after pregnancy
Provider and Survivor Perspectives on Screening for Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy and Postpartum
This study is talking to healthcare providers and women who have experienced intimate partner violence during or after pregnancy to understand the challenges they face with screening for this issue, so we can find better ways to support and care for moms in these situations.

What this research studies
This research aims to explore the perspectives of healthcare providers and survivors regarding the challenges and preferences for screening for intimate partner violence (IPV) in maternity care settings. By conducting focus groups with healthcare professionals and individuals who have experienced IPV during pregnancy or postpartum, the study seeks to identify barriers to effective screening and support. The findings will help inform the development of interventions to improve responses to IPV in healthcare settings, ultimately enhancing care for pregnant and postpartum women.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include pregnant women or those who have recently given birth, particularly those who have experienced intimate partner violence.
Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or postpartum, or who have not experienced intimate partner violence, may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved screening and support for pregnant and postpartum women experiencing intimate partner violence.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that addressing barriers to IPV screening in healthcare settings can lead to improved outcomes for affected individuals, suggesting that this approach has potential for success.
