Recognizing Intimate Partner Violence in Primary Care and Reproductive Health Settings
(Webinar 1 of 2)

June 30, 2026,

Tuesday 12:00pm – 1:00pm PST

​

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a common and consequential health issue that often intersects with sexual and reproductive health, primary care, behavioral health, and chronic disease management. Patients experiencing IPV may present with injuries, chronic pain, depression or anxiety, substance use concerns, reproductive coercion, unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, delayed prenatal care, or other health needs, yet many don't disclose abuse directly.

 

This webinar will help primary care and reproductive health teams recognize the forms, health impacts, and clinical indicators of IPV, including reproductive coercion and other patterns of control that may affect patient safety, autonomy, and care-seeking. The session will explore how trauma, culture, stigma, confidentiality concerns, fear of retaliation, and prior negative experiences with systems may shape disclosure and engagement in care. Participants will also consider the roles of screening, case-finding, and universal education in clinical settings, with attention to how recognizing IPV can support safer, more patient-centered care.

 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

 

1. Describe common forms of IPV, including reproductive coercion, and their relevance to primary care and reproductive health settings.

2. Identify clinical indicators and health presentations that may raise concern for IPV.

3. Explain why patients may not disclose IPV and how trauma, stigma, culture, confidentiality, and safety concerns may affect care-seeking.

4. Differentiate screening, case-finding, and universal education as approaches to recognizing and addressing IPV in clinical settings.
