Domestic violence has profound effects on the health of women. According to the World Health Organization, violence is a significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality in women. If violence is not taken into account as a cause of health problems, there is a high risk of inappropriate health care. More attention to the issue of domestic violence in medical history, diagnosis and therapy is the objective of the "S.I.G.N.A.L. Intervention Project to Combat Violence Against Women". The "S.I.G.N.A.L. Project" is the first intervention project against violence in a medical setting in Germany. It was started in 1999 in the emergency room of Benjamin Franklin University Hospital (Charite Campus Benjamin Franklin). The goal of the project is to initiate prevention and intervention for violence against women by providing the abused women with appropriate support and treatment. The program is based on the intervention objectives: ask about abuse, assess for danger, inform and refer victims to counselling programs and women's shelters, and document injuries and health problems for use in legal proceedings.
家庭暴力对女性健康有着深远影响。根据世界卫生组织的说法，暴力是女性发病和死亡的一个重要风险因素。如果不将暴力视为健康问题的一个成因，就很有可能出现不恰当的医疗保健情况。在病史、诊断和治疗中更多地关注家庭暴力问题，是“打击暴力侵害妇女行为的S.I.G.N.A.L.干预项目”的目标。“S.I.G.N.A.L.项目”是德国首个在医疗环境中针对暴力行为的干预项目。该项目于1999年在本杰明·富兰克林大学医院（夏里特校区本杰明·富兰克林）的急诊室启动。该项目的目标是通过为受虐妇女提供适当的支持和治疗，对暴力侵害妇女行为展开预防和干预。该项目基于以下干预目标：询问是否遭受虐待、评估危险程度、为受害者提供信息并转介至咨询项目和妇女庇护所，记录伤情和健康问题以供法律诉讼之用。
