Development and Feasibility of a Conversation Tool to Garner Mental Health and Intimate Partner Violence History from Patients Seeking Pelvic Healthcare: A Trauma-Informed Approach.

A conversation tool was developed by a clinician/researcher partnership to garner mental health and intimate partner violence histories from patients seeking pelvic healthcare. A 3-stage mixed measures approach with healthcare providers ( = 22) and victim service experts ( = 8) was utilized to meet study aims. The finalized conversation tool was found to have satisfactory face and content validity as well as to be feasible to implement in clinical settings based on constructs related to acceptability, practicality, demand, and implementation. The next steps will focus on pilot testing the developed tool with health professional students and identifying tool dissemination strategies.
