Summary

Attitudes about screening for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) were examined in a population of female Veterans. Participants supported routine screening for IPV, and emphasized that such screening should be done by sensitive and caring providers. A standardized IPV screening tool was evaluated for acceptability in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system.
