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.

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.
