In JAMA Internal Medicine, Curry and Bell summarize the recent National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report on essential services for intimate partner violence (IPV).¹ The authors describe the broad range of services necessary for the millions of people each year, disproportionately women, who survive IPV in the US.

More than 47% of US women report having experienced sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime,² and the numbers climb even higher when emotional abuse and reproductive coercion are included. To improve health care for IPV, it is essential to create a safe, nonjudgmental, person-centered clinical environment and to provide support and education for health care professionals across disciplines to prepare them to provide this care.
