Product Description:
The guidelines offered here provide specific recommendations for assessing and responding to domestic violence in child health settings, which provide a unique and important opportunity to inquire about for domestic violence and to educate parents about the impact of such violence on children. Virtually every child is seen at some point by a health provider. Thus, it is possible to assess every family that uses the health care system.
These guidelines also speak to the need for child health providers to engage in, model, and take leadership in delivering effective primary prevention of domestic violence, as well as other types of family and community violence, by highlighting violence prevention during well child and other routine visits, as a component of routine anticipatory guidance.
