Question Answered step-by-step Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is abuse or aggression that occurs… Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is abuse or aggression that occurs in a romantic relationship. “‘Intimate partner’ refers to both current and former spouses and dating partners” (CDC, 2020, para. 1). IPV can be perpetrated in various ways such as physical injury, sexual assault, stalking, and/or psychological abuse. And while IPV can impact males, it is typically perpetrated against females. Today, many view IPV as a public health issue. Importantly, IPV is preventable. This article highlights the seriousness of this “preventable public health problem” (ACOG, 2012, para. 1), Intimate Partner Violence, and contends that IPV may have both short-term and long-term consequences. This violence can be committed by “someone who is, was, or wishes to be involved in an intimate or dating relationship with an adult or adolescent, and is aimed at establishing control of one partner over the other” (ACOG, 2012, para. 2). The perpetrator of IPV uses the abuse to maintain power and control over the victim. Read this article: https://www.acog.org/Clinical-Guidance-and-Publications/Committee-Opinions/Committee-on-Health-Care-for-Underserved-Women/Intimate-Partner-Violence Respond to all of the prompts below if this is your initial post (remember to submit one paragraph per prompt minimum). You should incorporate material from the course text or the link (or other resources) to support your standpoint for at least one of the three prompts you are responding to. 1.  Oftentimes we think about the harm to the individuals (which is highly important) but what about the harm to society as well? Can you think of some societal costs of IPV? 2.  How do we as a society support the special populations of women who are mentioned in the article? For exmaple, there are certain groups of women who do not have ob/gyn visits with a physician for multiple reasons, how do we support those women? 3.  While recognizing, as the article notes, reporting IPV may jeopardize the victim’s safety, should IPV reporting be mandatory.
