IPV victimization among heterosexual men and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual (LGBT) men and women (2,3); 2) significant harmful effects on health and greater expectations of prejudice and discrimination among these populations (4-6); and 3) evidence that screening and referral for
IPV are likely to confer similar benefits for these populations.
