Health Professionals and Violence Against Women

Abstract

Abused women are more likely to be in touch with the health service than with any other agency. Yet research has suggested that health service professionals, such as general practitioners, health visitors and nurses, very often fail to help them. This may because the professionals never learned of the abuse, because they learned of the abuse but did not know how to help, or because what they offered was not perceived as helpful by the woman herself. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
