Training reproductive health providers to talk about intimate partner violence and reproductive coercion: an exploratory study

Discussion on birth control sabotage and pregnancy coercion was infrequent with patient –participants in both groups (6–17 and 4–13%, respectively). More patients in the clinics that received training reported receiving a safety card (72–84%) as compared to historical controls (9%,P< 0.001 for both). Overall, in this exploratory study, both communication-skills and standard training improved frequency of IPV communication when compared to historical controls but with few differences when compared to each other.
