Summary
Female Veterans who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) may struggle in finding the best ways to deal with emotional distress and fear for physical safety. This study examined priorities and preferences for healthcare-based IPV counseling for female Veterans. Findings indicated that women desired more specific focuses than what current IPV-related counseling sessions cover.
