This study evaluates Project Catalyst's impact on policies related to Intimate Partner Violence (IV) and Human Trafficking (HT), which contribute to negative health outcomes for survivors. We utilized continuous evaluation using data from policy assessment tools and interviews with participating state leadership team (SLT) members. Five SLTs reported integration of IPV into state-level initiatives. All implemented clinical practice and organizational policy recommendations. SLTs reported that Project Catalyst increased awareness of IPV/HT and health impacts and established ongoing partnerships between the three organizations. Funding, training, and technical assistance to encourage cross-sector collaboration at the state level can promote policy changes that support comprehensive health center responses to IPV/HT.

Background: Persons with disabilities are at higher risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) during the perinatal period than persons without disabilities. Although screening for IPV during the perinatal period is recommended by many organizations, little is known about screening rates for IPV by disability status.
Methods: Our objective was to compare rates of IPV screening during the perinatal period among persons with and without disabilities in the United States.
Background: Approximately 30% of women worldwide experience intimate partner violence (IPV). Although as many as 92% report impacts to the head and/or strangulation that raise clinical suspicion of brain injury (BI), there are no evidence-based methods to document IPV-BI in this vulnerable population, no clinical practice guideline, and insufficient understanding about long-term risks including Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an established ADRD risk factor, little is known about attributable risk of ADRD due to IPV in either military or civilian populations.

Background: Screening for elder abuse can cause victims to experience feelings of unpleasantness and/or relive painful memories which can be an ethical concern. Ensuring the safety of all participants/users, in our case long-term care (LTC) residents, is of the utmost importance.
Method: Drawing from approaches used in the intimate partner violence and clinical trials literature, we developed a novel typology of harm and a series of procedures to evaluate any negative consequences that might be incurred as a result of participating in the Piloting the Elder Abuse Suspicion Index-long term care: A Mixed Methods Feasibility Study.

Background: The experience of spouse caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is marked by witnessing the gradual cognitive decline of their loved ones. This journey transforms the nature of their marital relationship, evolving from mutual interdependence to a more unilateral caregiving role. Despite this significant shift, the specific phenomenon of self-loss among these caregivers remains underexplored in academic research.
