Abstract from journal article from SAGE Violence Against Women Journal:

This study considers domestic violence (DV) victims' court and social service utilization (n=86). We next examine the victims' pediatric provider to explore pediatricians' roles in a community-based response to DV. Sixty-five percent of the sample who used DV-related services interacted with the pediatric community. Pediatric inner-city clinic-based patients appear in the welfare management system and child protective system at similar rates as private pediatric patients.
