Innovative/Promising Practice Program Report

Learning Objectives:
  1. Discover how to use live theater to engage clinicians in didactic education about family violence.
  2. Investigate the importance of having a debriefing session for the audience after viewing the play
  3. Explore how a change in physician practice behavior was measured after experiencing the program
Description:
The Kaiser Permanente Educational Theater’s CareActors developed an original play entitled, “On a Street Where You Live”. Three professional actors will perform a short scene from this play depicting a pregnant teenager in an abusive relationship meeting with a physician for the first time. We will explore the impetus to develop the play and the optimum presentation of the program. The reaction of the audience to the program and data showing a change in clinician behavior afterward will be discussed.
