Background: Nonfatal strangulation has been identified as a common occurrence in intimate partner violence and can be associated with significant injuries and, at times, increased mortality.
Objective: This article describes a county interagency nonfatal strangulation initiative that efficiently disseminated an educational program for police, emergency medical services, emergency department staff, forensic nursing teams, and prosecuting attorneys, along with a forensic nurse response program. Prior to initiation of this program, no educational programs existed and no forensic examinations were being offered to victims of nonfatal strangulation.
