Domestic violence: a health concern.
Domestic violence may be the single most common etiology for injuries in women presenting to the health care system. There is a national effort to begin to ask all female patients about family violence. Physicians have a responsibility to identify, educate and appropriately manage and/or refer patients in violent relationships.
