    Abstract

    Sexual assault and intimate partner violence (IPV) of children, adolescents, and adult women are prevalent in the United States and have long-term physical and mental health, financial, and social effects. Pregnant women and women of color are particularly high-risk populations. Obstetrics and gynecology providers are uniquely situated to assess and treat survivors of IPV and sexual assault. A timely, thorough forensic medical examination, appropriate evaluation, and prophylactic therapy are all vital components in the care of these patients.
