This guide offers detailed descriptions of 36 sets of training materials designed to educate health care providers about methods of screening and intervening in cases of domestic violence and sexual assault. Materials included in the guide are predominantly practical tools--videos, scripted slide lectures, training manuals, and information packets--that were obtained from medical and nursing schools, emergency departments, national resource centers and other agencies throughout the U.S. and Canada. Materials have been pre-screened for relevance and usefulness. Detailed information about the programs that created the materials and how the materials can be purchased or obtained are included with product descriptions. The guide also includes an overview of key elements that need to be included in training health professionals about sexual assault and domestic violence, an index and quick reference guide to the training materials described, a bibliography and a resource list.

Recommended for health care educators and practitioners and community groups working to improve the health care response to domestic violence and sexual assault.
