TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Intimate partner violence in the LGBTQ+ community: experiences, outcomes, and implications for primary care JO - Primary care A1 - Bermea, Autumn M.

SP - 329 EP - 337 VL - 48 IS - 2 N2 - Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender (LGBTQ+) minorities experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at higher rates than heterosexual and/or cisgender people. Providers often are less prepared to work with LGBTQ+ survivors, which can be the result of a reliance on stereotypes on what constitutes an IPV victim. This article provides recommendations for working with LGBTQ+ survivors, including screening for IPV regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, participating in LGBTQ+-affirming trainings regarding IPV, and creating a welcoming and inclusive space that promotes LGBTQ+ survivors' comfort in disclosing IPV.
