The evidence behind CUES an intervention to address intimate partner violence

With the CUES intervention, healthcare professionals talk with all patients about how relationships can affect health and how to get support. Unlike traditional screening methods, CUES does not rely on a disclosure of abuse in order to provide a patient with information and resources they might need. By using CUES, providers can ensure that patients are aware of available survivor support services and have information to pass to friends and family who might need it. In order to adopt a team-based approach to supporting survivors, this approach relies on fostering of strong partnerships between domestic violence agencies and health settings.
