I had an email from a reader asking for some information for clinicians on IPV and pregnancy. She specifically wanted something she could use as an inservice for staff. Happily, I can deliver on this one pretty easily, because the CDC and ACOG have done the heavy lifting.
The two came together to create Intimate Partner Violence in Pregnancy: A Guide for Clinicians. It’s available for free on the CDC website, and it’s relatively current (last update was fall of 2008). What you’ll find:
- Screen Show, including a Presentation Index
- Lecture Notes
- Suggestions for Use
- Objectives (if you’re hoping to get CE credits, this is helpful)
- References
- Selected Bibliography
If you’re looking for ideas for staff continuing education, this might be a good one to use. It’s free, accessible and relevant. An excellent combo.
