Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014, no. 11Summary: "Violence against women by partners during pregnancy is a major public health concern. It can cause physical and psychological harm to women and may lead to pregnancy complications and poor outcomes for babies. It is not clear what sort of intervention best serves women and infants during pregnancy and after giving birth to ensure their safety. Interventions that might work include counselling and psychological therapy to give women more confidence and to encourage them to make plans to avoid abuse. Referral to social workers, shelters and other community-based resources may also help. For partners, referral can be made to 'batterer' treatment programs." (From the authors' abstract). Record #5371
