Brief Summary: Although abuse by an intimate partner is very common and has serious negative effects on womens health few studies have been done to test ways to increase safety for women in abusive relationships This study will test a telephone intervention for women who report physical emotional andor sexual abuse within the past 12 months to see if

women use more safety behaviors and access more community resources
chronic pain fatigue depressive and post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD symptoms affect a womens ability to use safety behaviors and access community resources
Detailed Description: Women who experience intimate partner violence IPV are at increased risk for serious long term negative health sequelae injury and death Compared to non-abused women intimately abused women suffer significantly greater prevalence of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD as well as a host of nonspecific physical symptoms including chronic pain and fatigue Campbell 2002 Golding 1999 Asmundson Coons Taylor Katz 2002 Ehlert Gaab Heinrichs 2001 Green Baker Sato Washington Smith 2003 Woods 2004 These increased negative health problems contribute to a greater prevalence of IPV among primary care patients with current past year IPV rates of 15 - 28 compared to 15 to 3 in epidemiologic surveys Bauer Rodruguez Perez-Stable 2000 Coker et al 2000 Collins et al1998 Kramer Lorenzon Mueller 2004 Richardson et al 2002 Tjaden Thoennes 2000 In spite of this high prevalence and serious negative health sequelae a recent review of interventions for IPV concluded that there is a serious lack of evidence-based approaches in the primary care setting No studies were identified that examined the effect of physical and mental health symptoms on the ability to access resources or to increase safety promoting behaviors This intervention pilot study will speak to this gap in the research Utilizing a randomized controlled clinical trial design we will follow women who screen positive for current past year IPV at a primary care clinic in Baltimore MD Women in the control group will receive usual care consisting of a list of community resources for IPV Women in the a nurse-managedcommunity health worker intervention group will receive usual care augmented by an individualized counseling session followed by a series of 6 telephone calls over 10 weeks A womans stage of readiness for change as well as symptoms of pain fatigue depression and PTSD will be evaluated as barriers to resource access and safety behavior initiation
