She cites statistics showing up to 36 percent of women and 28 percent of men have experienced intimate partner violence, which could include physical violence, rape, stalking or other aggressions. She joins Ginnie Cronin, PhD, director of advanced practice nursing at Le Moyne College, to discuss the dynamics of intimate partner violence and the role of medical professionals in helping to identify people who are affected.
