Abstract

Recently, the health care system has become recognized as an important site for domestic violence programs. However, most of these programs focus on screening for violence. There is a need for conceptually based intervention strategies that provide help for victims once they are identified. The Transtheoretical Model of Change is useful in suggesting interventions that are consistent with the ways victims perceive their situations and take actions to end violence in their lives.
