Statement of Need/Program Overview:

- Summarize recent research on the prevalence and health effects of IPV during and around the time of pregnancy.

- Implement interventions intended to increase women’s safety and to mitigate the effects of IPV during pregnancy
- Examine evidence-based promising practices including “empowerment counseling”.
