Nearly Half of Women No Strangers to Domestic Violence - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today: "SEATTLE, May 16 — Domestic violence has struck nearly half of all women, about 44%, at some point during their adult lives, according to a survey.

Considerably fewer women, about 15%, reported domestic violence within the past five years, and that figure fell to about 8% for incidents in the past year, reported Robert S. Thompson, M.D., of the Group Health Center for Health Studies here in the June issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine."
