Interview with April Gerlock, author of “Original Research: Documentation of Screening for Perpetration of Intimate Partner Violence in Male Veterans with PTSD” (November, 2011)

Editor-in-chief, Shawn Kennedy, interviews April Gerlock about her research on documentation of screening veterans with PTSD for intimate partner violence (IPV). She found that only one-quarter of these men – considered a high risk group for IPV – had screening documented. Gerlock also talks about how nurses in any setting can use brief encounters to screen for IPV and provides some suggestions for responding.
