Description/Overview: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a pervasive but preventable social and public health problem but if left unresolved results in millions of injuries and more than 1000 deaths in the U. S. annually. In addition, IPV comes at an enormous cost to physical, mental, economic, and social well-being at $13.6 billion and is expected to rise to $15.6 billion by 2021. Survivors of IPV do not receive the needed intervention because they may not seek it, if they seek it, they may present a different unrelated cause of the injury. The Department of Justice Office of the Victims of Crime, in mapping the new directions for the 21st Century suggested multicomponent services and interventions including health, education and legal information and access to social, health and legal services integrated into an individualized primary care program for survivors of IPV. Furthermore the WHO (2013) recommended that training clinicians is crucial in recognizing and responding to prevent IPV. The purpose of this symposium is to share to diverse global healthcare providers a HELPP (Health, Education on safety and resources, and Legal support Participant Program) intervention that has delivered to IPV survivors Face-to-Face, Email, and through a HELPP Zone app and to provide attendees with evidence-based data collection and analysis using a sequential mixed methods design.

The dearth of evidence-based IPV interventions is rooted in the lack of well-developed, tested and evaluated training programs that integrates technology and evidence-based practice. This symposium may help bridge the gap between evidence-based practice and mobile-based interventions in survivors of IPV. We need to share with global healthcare providers to make a difference in recognizing and responding to this pervasive but preventable public health and social problem-IPV.
