• The Bystander Effect – People are not responding to the warning signs of domestic violence, no one make the effort to intervene, reach out, or help. Individuals assume someone else would take care of it.

• Mass Media – The Neighbors, Friends, and Families campaign included television ads, brochures, and a website to convey messages as well as inform people about the issues and what is needed to be done.

• Case Study/Phenomenology – The 2002 Domestic Violence Death Review committee studied 25 spousal homicides. The report stated that each case could have been prevented.

• Psychology – Characteristics of men and women in a domestic abuse situation: Male abuser always puts the woman down, and checks up on her all the time (even at work). The female victim is always nervous to talk when the man is there, and makes frequent excuses about why she can’t meet you or tries to avoid you. These are natural psychological responses to situations like these.

Objective• Are there educational opportunities available to future health care providers on the topic of

intimate partner violence (IPV) against women?Method• Province-wide survey• A team of specialists identified university and college programs in Ontario, Canada as possible

providers of IPV education to students in health care professions at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

• Telephone survey method• The survey asked whether IPV-specific education was provided to learners, and if so, how and by

whom. Conclusions• 222 qualified programs in dentistry, medicine, *nursing and other *related health professions were

surveyed (95% of the programs responded)• 57% offered some form of IPV-specific education• Opportunities for a consistent response by health care professionals to women experiencing the

effects of violence may not match the reality of professional preparation.

They want to make sure there are professionals in the health care workforce that women in abusive relationships can turn to in their time of need.

• Survey – The approach taken to gather information allowed them to get a variety of responses from a large group of individuals and organizations. It gave them the results and answers they were looking for, and necessary actions which followed.

-Chanelle Wright-Chanelle Wright• The article was mostly about a woman

named Jean Smith and her struggle through an abusive relationship.

• The warning signs of abuse began to become visible to her like jealousy and possessiveness

• Jean left but then went back to her abuser because he sweet talked her. It usually takes several tries before a woman leaves her abuser for good.

• Reasons why some women stay in abusive relationships is because of economics, fear of being killed and they are deeply in love.
