To study a mental health sample to assess (1) the prevalence of physical, sexual and emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration, (2) the extent this sample reported being asked about IPV by mental health clinicians and (3) how prevalence and screening rates varied by gender.
Women and men receiving services at a large psychiatric facility completed anonymous written questionnaires.
A total of 524 adults were approached for study participation, and 428 (158 men, 270 women) completed a survey. Over half (51%) of participants experienced some form of IPV; 63% of women and 32% of men reported IPV victimization. Experience of IPV was more likely if participants were women and had diagnoses of posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder or bipolar disorder. Both women (33%) and men (16%) reported perpetrating IPV. The reported IPV screening rate by mental health providers was 44% for the whole sample (women: 55%; men: 27%).
IPV victimization and perpetration is a prevalent problem among women and men receiving mental health services. Clinicians are missing opportunities to screen for IPV as part of mental health evaluation and treatment.
研究心理健康样本，以评估（1）身体、性和情感亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）受害和施暴的流行程度，（2）该样本中心理健康临床医生询问 IPV 的程度，以及（3）性别如何影响流行率和筛查率。
在一家大型精神病院接受服务的女性和男性完成了匿名书面问卷。
共有 524 名成年人被邀请参加研究，其中 428 人（158 名男性，270 名女性）完成了一项调查。超过一半（51%）的参与者经历过某种形式的 IPV；63%的女性和 32%的男性报告遭受过 IPV 侵害。如果参与者是女性，并且被诊断患有创伤后应激障碍、焦虑症或双相情感障碍，那么他们经历 IPV 的可能性就更大。女性（33%）和男性（16%）都报告曾实施过 IPV。心理健康提供者报告的 IPV 筛查率为整个样本的 44%（女性：55%；男性：27%）。
在接受心理健康服务的女性和男性中，IPV 受害和施暴是一个普遍存在的问题。临床医生错过了在心理健康评估和治疗中筛查 IPV 的机会。
