TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - The major issues of an "assault and battery" report for an adolescent JO - Revue Medicale Suisse A1 - Depallens, Sarah SP - 1292, 1294 EP - 6 VL - 10 IS - 434 N2 - Adolescents who are confronted to violence rarely consult health services about this problem. Family maltreatment is the origin of most violence against adolescents, but remains very often hidden from the eyes of professionals. The "assault and battery" reports produced by emergency services are largely about community violence situations. The medical consultation following an assault requires a global evaluation of the teenager confronted to violence. This evaluation will have to take into account not only the adolescent's requests (such as confidentiality), but also professional duties to prevent recidivism.
