USPSTF Requests Comments on Screening Recommendation
Statement for Intimate Partner Violence, Elder Abuse, and Abuse of Vulnerable
Adults
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is seeking comments for its draft recommendation statement on screening for intimate
partner violence (IPV), elder abuse, and abuse of vulnerable adults.
USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen for IPV in
women of reproductive age and provide or refer women who screen positive to
ongoing support services. It also concludes that there is not enough evidence
to assess the benefits and harms of screening for abuse and neglect in older or
vulnerable adults.
The draft recommendation statement and evidence review are available for public comment until May 21, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
