  • Intimate partner abuse (IPA) during pregnancy is a significant public health concern.
  • Identifying at-risk populations and understanding risk behaviors are crucial for early intervention.
  • Pregnancy can exacerbate existing abuse or initiate new abusive dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the population at risk for intimate partner abuse during pregnancy.
  • To outline identifying factors for IPA in emergency department (ED) presentations.
  • To review outcome data for maternal and fetal violence and discuss legal/ethical considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and data on intimate partner abuse in pregnant populations.
