I've definitely seen some progress, but it's in no means universal. I think not wanting to deal with the issue is as often the culprit as not knowing how to deal with it.

As a forensic nurse examiner with a decade of experience, I admit I was taken aback by this study. I appreciate you taking the time to highlight some factors that contributed to their finding. It could be compared to a "Women's Shelter" counselor who is asked to screen all her clients for signs of hypertension. Do you have a headache? "Yes" Do you have shortness of breath? "Yes" Do you have chest pain? "Yes" OK- I can get you a number to call. They should be able to help. If they were to screen clients for hypertension- they need to know more about the disease to make screening safe/matter. They know about as much about hypertension as health care professionals do about IPV. Thanks, Cyndi Hi Jennifer.

Do you have a headache? “Yes”
Do you have shortness of breath? “Yes”
Do you have chest pain? “Yes”

OK- I can get you a number to call. They should be able to help.

If they were to screen clients for hypertension- they need to know more about the disease to make screening safe/matter.

They know about as much about hypertension as health care professionals do about IPV.

Thanks,
