Violence Against Women and Reproductive Health: Toward Defining a Role for Reproductive Health Care Services
Maternal and child health journal, 2000Co-Authors: Linn H. Parsons, Mary M. Goodwin, Ruth PetersenAbstract:Since a large proportion of U.S. women receive Reproductive Health care services each year, Reproductive Health care settings offer an important opportunity to reach women who may be at risk of or experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Although screening women for IPV in clinical Health care settings has been endorsed by national professional associations and organizations, scientific evidence suggests that opportunities for screening in Reproductive Health care settings are often missed. This commentary outlines what is known about screening and intervention for IPV in clinical Health care settings, and points out areas that need greater attention. The ultimate goal of these recommendations is to increase the involvement of Reproductive Health care services in sensitive, appropriate, and effective care for women who may be at risk of or affected by IPV.

Sexual violence and Reproductive Health.
Maternal and child health journal, 2000Co-Authors: Pamela M. Mcmahon, Mary M. Goodwin, Gayle StringerAbstract:Sexual violence is a significant public Health problem, and has been linked to adverse effects on women's physical and mental Health. Although some advances in the research have been made, more scientific exploration is needed to understand the potential association between sexual violence and women's Reproductive Health, and to identify measures that could be implemented in Reproductive Health care settings to assist women who have experienced sexual violence. Three general areas needing further study include (1) expansion of the theoretical frameworks and analytic models used in future research, (2) the Reproductive Health care needs of women who have experienced sexual violence, (3) and intervention strategies that could be implemented most effectively in Reproductive Health care settings.

Men's influences on women's Reproductive Health: medical anthropological perspectives.
Social science & medicine (1982), 2004Co-Authors: Matthew R. Dudgeon, Marcia C. InhornAbstract:Reproductive Health has emerged as an organizational framework that incorporates men into maternal and child Health (MCH) programs. For several decades, medical anthropologists have conducted Reproductive Health research that explores male partners' effects on women's Health and the Health of children. This article summarizes exemplary research in this area, showing how ethnographic studies by medical anthropologists contribute new insights to the growing public Health and demographic literature on men and Reproductive Health. The first half of the article begins by exploring Reproductive rights, examining the concept from an anthropological perspective. As part of this discussion, the question of equality versus equity is addressed, introducing anthropological perspectives on ways to incorporate men fairly into Reproductive Health programs and policies. The second half of the article then turns to a number of salient examples of men's relevance in the areas of contraception, abortion, pregnancy and childbirth, infertility, and fetal harm. Medical anthropological research--as well as prominent gaps in that research--is highlighted. The article concludes with thoughts on future areas of anthropological research that may improve understandings of men's influences on women's Reproductive Health.
