Drs. Chang, Krans, and Miller conducted 15 semistructured interviews with pregnant and postpartum women who have experienced opioid use disorder (OUD) and intimate partner violence (IPV). Their team found that
➡️ Partners impacted their ability to seek OUD care
➡️ Seeking help for OUD and IPV was siloed and they wished for integrated services
➡️ They were more comfortable disclosing OUD than IPV
➡️ They perceived pregnancy as a barrier and facilitator to OUD care

Creating Healing-Centered Spaces for Intimate Partner Violence Survivors in the Postpartum Unit: Examining Current Practices and Desired Resources Among Health Care Providers and Postpartum People
Through interviews with postpartum people and health care providers (HCP), Drs. Chang, Miller, and Ragavan explored:
1) How IPV is currently discussed
2) What should be included in IPV interventions
3) How to support those who disclose IPV
4) Implementation barriers and facilitators
This resulted in:
➡️HCPs reported a variety of practices to support survivors
➡️Postpartum people reported not receiving resources or education related to IPV
➡️HCPs identified a need for screening and resource provision

Their findings suggest that high performance regarding SV policy and prevention on a campus do not necessarily translate to implementation of appropriate SV prevention and care for students seeking care on campus, including assessments, resources, referrals, and services.
