Violence education in family practice residency programs--United States, 1989.
In the United States, violence is a well-documented public health problem (1-3), and physicians have been urged to help reduce the impact of this problem (4). To assess efforts to educate family practice physicians about violence, in 1989, an investigator in a family practice residency program conducted a national survey of all family practice residency directors. The survey assessed the beliefs of residency directors regarding specific types of violence and the role of family practice residency programs in educating physicians about this problem. This report summarizes results of the survey (5).
