dc.description.notesGeneral overview: This paper presents the results of a longitudinal estimate of the incidence and continuation of intimate partner violence (IPV) in a sample of 657 women currently in an intimate relationship, who were receiving primary health care in rural South Carolina USA.<br/ ><br/ >Methodology: The study screened women who were receiving treatment in participating health care clinics on an annual basis between 2002 and 2005. The researchers used the Women's Experience of Battering (WEB) Scale, in combination with questions addressing the subjects' experience of physical and sexual assault. Participating women were screened at least twice and the results correlated with age and past IPV.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The authors present the statistical analysis of their findings textually and in charts. They discuss these results in the context of other studies of the incidence of IPV and with reference to any inferences that may be drawn. They state that their findings indicate that psychological battering may predict physical battering, and that this may have bearing on screening practices. They also found that older women in their sample were more likely to experience continued IPV.<br/ ><br/ >Conclusion: The authors discuss the limitations and weakness of their analysis and any implications their findings may have for policy and practice. They conclude that screening women in health care situations may detect or predict ongoing IPV, which may be likely to escalate and that interventions may then be able to be implemented that may save lives or protect women and their families.en
