routinely screen women for IPV and provide appropriate referrals to community agencies and mental health care both for mothers and children affected.

They also state that interventions for women and their children are needed to minimize the effects of IPV in the family. Such interventions are unlikely to be cost effective in the short term, they write, because the victims increased health care utilization seems to be higher for years after IPV stops. Nonetheless, such services are necessary to attend appropriately and responsibly to the long-term consequences of violence, the authors conclude.
