Dear Colleagues,

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. According to a recent study conducted by the Commonwealth Fund, almost four million women are physically abused each year in the United States. Worldwide, between 20 and 50 percent of women have experienced physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner or family member. The healthcare system is in a unique position to play a role in domestic violence assessment, intervention, and prevention.
