State-by-State Report Card on Health Care Laws and Domestic Violence

Posted: August 28, 2001

The Family Violence Prevention Fund's (FVPF's) State-By-State Report Card on Health Care Laws and Domestic Violence is an at-a-glance evaluation of state activity in passing laws to improve the health care response to domestic violence.

Note: The Family Violence Prevention Fund has developed model laws to improve the state health care response to domestic violence. If would like a copy of these model laws, please call the Family Violence Prevention Fund at 415/252-8900, and ask to speak to a member of health team. Thank you!
