New training aims to help doctors spot domestic violence in veterans
NCT ID NCT05490004
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a new training program helps healthcare and social service providers better recognize and respond to intimate partner violence and child abuse in veterans and their families. Forty providers took part, either in a group workshop or self-guided online training. The goal was to see if the training was practical and well-received, not to directly treat patients.
