Description:
We developed and piloted a low-cost, low-tech IPV screening tool- the Adult Social Health Survey (ASHS)- that aimed to increase detection and response to IPV. We conducted a clinical trial of the ASHS in four ambulatory health centers and assessed its effectiveness in detecting IPV compared to usual care.
