This session of Grand Rounds will explore Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), a serious, preventable public health problem that affects millions of Americans. The term "intimate partner violence" describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm caused by a current or former partner or spouse.
IPV can vary in frequency and severity. It occurs on a continuum, ranging from one episode to chronic, severe battering. IPV can have lasting harmful effects on individuals, families, and communities. The goal for public health is to recognize and prevent IPV.
Please join us for this powerful session of Grand Rounds where we will explore prevention efforts aimed at reducing the occurrence of intimate partner violence through the promotion of healthy, respectful, nonviolent relationships. These prevention efforts must address change at the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels.
Future Grand Rounds topics include global tobacco control and high impact HIV prevention. Email your questions about this topic before or during the session.
