BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth is calling for submissions to our Collection on Screening and management of intimate partner violence in pregnancy.
This Collection aims to enhance the understanding of effective strategies for identifying and supporting survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) within maternity care settings. Intimate partner violence during pregnancy poses substantial risks to maternal and child health. Effective screening and management during antenatal care are vital for supporting affected individuals, despite ongoing challenges in identification and support.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being and SDG 5: Gender Equality.
