TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Should programs designed to help IPV survivors screen for mental health-related problems? Voices from the field JO - Violence against women A1 - Simmons, Catherine A. A1 - Delaney, Matthew J. A1 - Lindsey, Leslie A1 - Whalley, Anna A1 - Murry-Drobot, Olliette A1 - Gayle Beck, J. SP - 603 EP - 622 VL - 23 IS - 5 N2 - Qualitative responses that 187 service providers gave to a question assessing whether agencies designed to help intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors should screen for mental health-related problems were analyzed using a version of the concept mapping approach. Nine central clusters emerged from the data analysis, which can be linked to three underlying themes: how the identification of mental health-related problems (i.e., labeling) could be misused when working with IPV survivors, ways screening can be appropriately used to help IPV survivors, and barriers that prevent screening.

FINDINGS highlight the importance of trauma-informed approaches across all aspects of service delivery.
