Abstract

Army health care personnel play a key role in the Army's Family Advocacy Program, yet little is known about their beliefs toward domestic violence. This study surveyed the beliefs of selected Army Medical Department personnel concerning the extent, nature, causes, and management of spouse abuse. The study suggests that Army Medical Department personnel would benefit from short courses designed to increase their information about spouse abuse, prevention, identification, education, and intervention procedures.
