Domestic violence is a significant social and public health problem that disproportionately affects women and girls and often results in injury, chronic health problems, and death. Obstetrician-gynecologists are in a unique position to identify such patients and to provide intervention. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has responded to this problem and encouraged its members to act. ACOG activities reflect the mission of the organization and can serve as a template for like societies.
家庭暴力是一个严重的社会和公共卫生问题,对妇女和女孩的影响尤为严重,常常导致受伤、慢性健康问题甚至死亡。妇产科医生在识别此类患者并提供干预方面具有独特的地位。美国妇产科医师学会(ACOG)已对这一问题做出回应,并鼓励其成员采取行动。ACOG的活动体现了该组织的使命,可为类似学会提供借鉴。
