The purpose of this project was to improve the identification, treatment, and referral of domestic violence victims by prehospital care providers (Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and paramedics) and emergency department personnel. The training focused on the definition of domestic violence, procedures to use when questioning patients about abuse, Utah's mandatory reporting law, and the referral of victims to community resources. While the training did improve the participant's knowledge concerning referral options and the law, health care providers still did not believe that domestic violence was a problem in their community. Although providers felt confident asking questions about abuse, the providers did not question patients unless they suspected domestic violence was the cause of the injury. Further training needs to be offered to staff to encourage regular screening for all adult patients.
该项目的目的是改善院前护理人员（急救医疗技术员（EMT）和护理人员）以及急诊科人员对家庭暴力受害者的识别、治疗和转诊。培训重点在于家庭暴力的定义、询问患者是否遭受虐待时应采用的程序、犹他州的强制报告法以及将受害者转介至社区资源。虽然培训确实提高了参与者关于转诊选择和法律方面的知识，但医疗保健提供者仍然不认为家庭暴力是他们社区存在的问题。尽管提供者在询问有关虐待问题时感到自信，但除非怀疑家庭暴力是受伤原因，否则他们不会询问患者。需要为工作人员提供进一步培训，以鼓励对所有成年患者进行定期筛查。
