Domestic violence identification and referral.

This report reviews the dental, medical, nursing, and public health literature concerning domestic violence prevalence, morbidity, mortality, education, and legislation. The primary goal of this report is to increase awareness of the signs of suspected domestic violence and the importance of being involved in prevention and early intervention. A second goal of this report is to increase awareness of domestic violence and to encourage the dental hygiene community to investigate methods to intervene and prevent this increasing problem. For dental hygienists, the commitment to learn and to help others should drive the initiative to address this concern for the well being of society. Due to the nature of domestic violence and our tendency to avoid involvement in the personal lives of others, this issue may be difficult for some people to encounter. It is through professional and continuing education that we strive to be better informed and equipped to venture effectively into this arena. Lastly, we are obligated to adhere to the commitment of the Dental Hygiene Code of Ethics by promoting public public health and safety for all in the community, the nation, and the world.
