Thank you for your commitment to breaking the cycle of violence! Domestic violence and sexual assault have many things in common but an important and emerging similarity is the use of reproductive coercion against a partner or victim. Screening for reproductive coercion in every patient you see can stop victimization in its tracks. Patients who claim ownership of their bodies, pregnancies, and sexual health are less likely to be a victim of violence and less likely to have poor health outcomes.
