The Dallas-Fort Worth Intimate Partner Violence Coalition’s mission is to increase the effectiveness of healthcare organization’s response to IPV to reduce IPV-related fatalities in DFW.

You can help improve DFW’s healthcare response to intimate partner violence!

Step 1. Determine who in your healthcare organization can complete a brief three-month retrospective search of IPV/DV screens to determine how many patients completed intake paperwork, how many were screened for IPV, and how many screened positively.

Step 2. If your HCO has any logistical or HIPAA concerns regarding this data search, please click HERE for Frequently Asked Questions.

Step 3. Input the collected data HERE. Data will only be available to the DFW IPV Coalition and will be de-identified and aggregated before the results are shared with any other parties. 

Step 4. Once responses have been received, the Coalition will follow-up to discuss next steps of this initiative.
