Barriers to physician identification and treatment of family violence : lessons from five communities
Since the Surgeon General's Workshop on Violence and Public Health (Leesburg, Virginia, October 27-29, 1985), a substantial literature has developed about the limitations of the health care response to family violence. Many contributions have reflected experiences in limited numbers of practice settings (e.g., a single emergency department or hospital). Until 1990, however, there had been no community-based studies. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation asked a multidisciplinary team from Education Development Center, Inc. and Children's Hospital (Boston) to investigate the health care responses to family violence in five diverse communities. This qualitative study, comprising more than 480 interviews, provided a vivid picture of the barriers facing physicians and other health care providers in identifying, treating, and referring victims of family violence. It also illuminated the relations of the health care systems in these communities with other key sectors, including agencies and the judiciary. The key findings from the five-city study remain relevant because (1) it is the only large-scale, multi-community-based assessment of the barriers facing physicians; (2) it identified, or in some cases confirmed, both institutional and educational barriers limiting the effectiveness of even the most committed physicians; (3) it identified, or in some cases confirmed, specific areas of knowledge, attitudes, and skills development that should be incorporated in medical education; and (4) its conclusions continue to be reflected in subsequent contributions to the literature. In each of these ways, therefore, it informs the other articles in this supplement.
