SR Print(0) ID 1173719276 T1 Interpersonal Violence T2 CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Family Medicine, 5e YR 2020 FD 2020 PB McGraw Hill PP New York, NY SN 9781260134896 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1173719276 RD 2023/02/05 AB Family physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for interpersonal violence in their patients. Despite growing public awareness, community advocacy, and education about this endemic public health problem, victims of interpersonal violence may be difficult to detect in the healthcare setting. Shame, fear, self-blame, and other cultural and social factors may limit the manner and nature of presentation and disclosure to the physician. Despite these challenges, the family physician is in a unique position to make a meaningful impact and potentially intervene before violence escalates.
