MEDICAL PROVIDERS GUIDETO MANAGING THE care OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE patients WITHIN A CULTURAL CONTEXTM ichael R. BloombergMayorCity of New York Message from the New York City Mayor's Office to Combat Domestic Violence Domestic violence is pervasive, with 1 in 4 women experiencing abuse during their lifetimes. In 2002, the World Health Organization identified domestic violence as a serious public health problem with victims experiencing more operative procedures, visits to doctors and hospital stays than non-victims. Domestic violence causes not only acute injuries, but also has been linked to serious health consequences such as chronic pain, abdominal complaints, sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, miscarriages and premature labor. Unfortunately, many victims suffer in silence and are not receiving assistance for their abusive situation. Analysis of family violence-related homicides in New York City reveals that 71% of the cases in 2003 had no prior police contact and 87% had no current order of protection.
