Part 2: Evidence-Based Practices for Prevention and Disclosure

Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2025

Time: 6 am HT/ 9 am PT/ 10 am MT/ 11 am CT/ 12 pm ET (60 mins)

Building upon the foundational knowledge shared in Part 1, this session will equip health center staff with evidence-based strategies to educate patients about IPV, promote prevention, and foster a supportive environment for disclosure and support. HRSA began collecting IPV diagnosis and services UDS data in 2020. Health centers have challenges capturing this data. This session will discuss ways your health center can systematically facilitate outreach, prevention, universal education, care for patients, and connections to resources while safely documenting IPV within EHRs for UDS reporting. Participants will gain practical tools to enhance their ability to engage patients in meaningful conversations about IPV, increasing patient trust and safety. By strengthening staff capacity to navigate these discussions, health centers can improve early identification and intervention, positioning staff to connect patients with critical community-based resources. This session will also provide actionable steps to integrate IPV assessment and referral into routine care while ensuring a patient-centered approach.

Objectives:

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Identify barriers to disclosure and the limits of disclosure-driven practices for intimate partner violence (IPV).
2. Describe how to integrate CUES, an evidence-based universal education approach to inform patients about healthy relationships and assess for IPV in primary care visits.
3. Define HRSA’s UDS measures on IPV/HT/E; and identify related ICD-10 codes.
4. List strategies and tools that health centers can use to support patients that are experiencing IPV.
