Abuse: Child, Elder, Intimate Partner
INTRODUCTION
Three types of abuse that may be seen in the healthcare setting are child abuse, elder abuse, and
intimate partner violence, also known as domestic violence. The abuse of one person by another can
take many forms – physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and more.
The statistics regarding abuse are disturbing:
In 2014, more than 700,000 children were abused and/or neglected in the U.S.
In 2015, more than 2.1 million cases of elder abuse were reported in the U.S.
On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the
U.S.
Many victims end up seeking medical care at hospitals, physician offices, and clinics. Healthcare
providers are likely to encounter victims of abuse from time to time, and they can play a critical role in
recognizing, reporting, and helping victims of abuse.
PURPOSE/OVERALL GOAL
This module outlines what providers need to know about child abuse, elder abuse, and intimate partner
violence. It explains the types of abuse that can be experienced by each, how to recognize the signs, and
what providers should do if abuse is suspected.
The goal of this module is to give providers the information they need to effectively identify and report
suspected cases of abuse in the patients they may be caring for.

1. Define types and possible signs of child abuse
2. Define types and possible signs of elder abuse
