title: Domestic violence: a resource manual for healthcare providers for the State of Delaware. Part 2: Legal issues.
abstract: The Medical Subcommittee of the Delaware Domestic Violence Coordinating Council (DVCC) has worked on and completed Domestic Violence: A Resource Manual for Healthcare Providers for the State of Delaware. It is both an educational tool and a handy resource for documentation and reference, with many examples of clinical guidelines screening questions and checklists for safety screening. It is intended for all healthcare providers, not just physicians. The Delaware Medical Journal will be reprinting three very important chapters from this manual: Understanding Domestic Violence (October 2000), Legal Issues, and Health Care Provider's Response.
