Description
Abstract:"Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and multi-faceted public health problem that affects millions of Americans each year. A clear and consistent definition of IPV is critical to accurately measure and monitor the problem to learn ways to prevent and respond to it. Measuring IPV is complex and challenging and requires flexibility to incorporate emerging forms of IPV, culturally relevant factors, and transparency in terms of the types of IPV that are captured, who is included in the estimates and the context for the data collection. Researchers, practitioners, policy makers, the media, and other interested parties can work together to inform the measurement and prevention of IPV. Key words: Intimate partner violence (IPV) Measurement Physical IPV Sexual IPV Intimate partner stalking Intimate partner psychological aggression Technology-facilitated IPV Intimate partner sex trafficking"-- Provided by publisher.
