The document summarizes a study that tested using a Social Health Survey (SHS) to screen patients for intimate partner violence (IPV) and other psychosocial risks at four Philadelphia community health centers. The SHS was self-administered by patients and included an attached resource guide. Results found that 85% of patients found completing the SHS a good experience, screening identified new cases of IPV that were not previously detected, and most patients found the resource guide helpful. Limitations included inconsistent SHS implementation and not all patients receiving the survey.
