AI Article Synopsis
- The American College of Nurse-Midwives launched a 4-year Domestic Violence Education Project (DVEP) aimed at training all midwives in the U.S. to effectively address domestic abuse among their patients.
- The project included four main areas of focus: policy changes, incorporating education into midwifery training, providing ongoing education for practicing midwives, and promoting activism and advocacy efforts.
- Although the long-term effects of the DVEP on current midwives may take time to assess, the project has already made a lasting impact on the education of future midwives and fostered ongoing commitment to addressing domestic violence.
