Domestic Violence: The Role of The Proactive Physician

 

Program Description

In this video, Dr. Elaine Alpert discusses the prevalence and types of domestic violence, addresses myths associated with this serious public health issue, and presents practical ways to screen for, recognize, and treat victims of domestic violence, and refer them for additional help and support. An actual victim of domestic violence tells her story at various points throughout the video—how the abuse began, how it went undetected, and why she tells her story now. In addition, Dr. Alpert models doctor-patient interactions using direct and indirect questions that can make it easier for a patient to tell a primary care physician about violence in the home.
