Description:
Physicians have unique opportunities in prevention and intervention on IPV. However IPV is often not recognized and there is a lack of brief intervention program in medical practices in Germany. The project, funded by the German Ministry of Familie for 2008-2010 was implemented in 5 regions in Germany with more than 100 practices, mainly of GP and gynecological surgeries. The pilot projekt made a significant contribution to improving health care for patients suffering IVP.
