abstract="Little work has explored the extent to which female victims of intimate partner violence use medical and legal services. In this cross-sectional study of a sample of women seeking orders of protection at family court (N = 95), we report descriptive, self-report data on health care utilization and insurance coverage. Although 85% of the petitioners had private or public health insurance, 39% reported delayed medical care, and 14% had not obtained medical care of any kind. The response to address interpersonal violence victimization should attempt to connect women using the courts with needed health care services.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
