abstract="PURPOSE: This clinic-based study investigated attitudes about intimate partner violence (IPV) screening among an ethnically diverse population of adolescent and young adult women (n = 645). METHODS: A cross-sectional quantitative and qualitative survey assessed experiences with and attitudes toward IPV screening. RESULTS: Almost all participants supported universal IPV screening and over 90% believed that a health care provider was the most appropriate adult to ask them about interpersonal violence. Young women's concerns toward screening varied by age and violence experience; those most likely to mind being screened were younger, had a history of childhood sexual abuse, and were victims of physical violence in the last year. However, even in these groups, over 70% supported IPV screening. Qualitative analyses suggested that provider qualities and confidentiality will affect the amount of disclosure to provider-initiated screening. Women also raised important questions about how to define IPV in relationships. CONCLUSIONS: Young women generally favor universal screening of interpersonal violence, but provider qualities and confidentiality issues affect responses to screening questions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
