This is Dr. Kirtly Jones from the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology here at University of Utah Health Care and this is the scope or the problem, on The Scope. Announcer: Medical news and research from University of Utah physicians and specialists you can use for a happier and healthier life. You're listening to The Scope. Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones: What's the biggest health threat to women? It's intimate partner violence. 1 in 3 women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. And the consequences last throughout her life. Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship, used by one partner to gain or maintain power over an intimate partner. Of all the women murdered in the U.S. about 1/3 were killed by a domestic partner and the rate of non-lethal abuse is much higher than that. Thirty-two percent of all homicides in Utah were by a domestic partner. This is 1/3 of all the homicides in Utah are domestic violence homicides, about 1 in 5 American women will be raped in their lifetime.
