New research in the Journal of Midwifery & Women's health (JMWH) addresses the effects of violence and trauma on women's health. The November/December 2008 continuing education issue of JMWH contains eight original research articles, covering topics from when and how to broach the subject of violence and trauma to the physical and psychological health consequences of intimate partner violence (IPV).
