Summary: This study focuses on transportation barriers among immigrant women survivors of intimate partner violence, revealing that transportation is used as a means of control and coercion by perpetrators. Insufficient access to transportation resources impedes the process of exiting IPV situations and regaining independence and stability. More multi-modal and creative transportation solutions are needed to overcome accessibility obstacles and enhance safety for this population.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of intimate partner violence on women's participation in the labor market and their access to employment. Using the history of violence as instrumental variables, the study finds that intimate partner violence is associated with a higher probability of women participating in the labor market. The analysis suggests that the rent extraction mechanism may explain this positive relationship.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of physical intimate partner violence (IPV) among postpartum women who reported preconception fertility treatment compared to those who conceived without assisted reproduction. The results showed that about 2% of the respondents reported physical IPV. Women reporting preconception fertility treatment were less likely to experience physical IPV than those who conceived without fertility treatment. However, the odds of physical IPV were similar among postpartum women regardless of fertility treatment exposure after adjusting for other factors. Factors such as low household income and increased preconception stressors were predictive of reported physical IPV. There was no difference in the type of fertility treatment and reported physical IPV, but among women exposed to fertility treatment, self-identification as Black or Hispanic and reporting higher stressors were associated with physical IPV. The use of fertility treatment did not increase the risk of physical IPV in this postpartum population, but further research is needed to understand the association between infertility, fertility treatment exposure, and physical IPV.

Summary: Upper extremity injuries in victims of intimate partner violence are most commonly seen in the hand and fingers. Fingers are the most common site of fracture and the medial hand is the most common region of fracture in the upper extremity in victims of intimate partner violence. In intimate partner violence victims with upper extremity injuries, concomitant injuries and subsequent injuries are most commonly seen in the head and neck region.

Summary: Stay-at-home policies intended to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 may lead to increased violence against women, as evidenced by a significant rise in calls to a domestic violence helpline in Peru following a nationwide lockdown. These findings highlight the need for policies to mitigate the negative impact of stay-at-home orders on women's safety.

Summary: Counseling and active behavioral interventions to limit excessive gestational weight gain during pregnancy can reduce risks of gestational diabetes, emergency cesarean delivery, macrosomia, and large for gestational age. These interventions also lead to reduced weight gain in pregnant women and decrease the likelihood of exceeding recommended weight gain limits.

Summary: This systematic review aims to provide evidence on the effects of commonly used psychosocial interventions on adults with schizophrenia. The results show that most psychosocial interventions are more effective than treatment as usual in improving functional outcomes, quality of life, and core illness symptoms among adults with schizophrenia. Several interventions also reduce the frequency of relapse.

Summary: This study found limited direct evidence on glaucoma screening, showing no association with benefits. Screening tests can identify persons with glaucoma and treatment was associated with a lower risk of glaucoma progression, but evidence of improvement in visual outcomes, quality of life, and function remains lacking.
