Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem and is associated with many adverse reproductive health outcomes. One intervention that has been used in the United States to address this issue is to train health care providers to screen women for IPV and refer them to services for support and counseling. For this intervention to be used in other countries, it must first be known if violence victims seek health care services. This article examines IPV and the use of reproductive health care services among 607 women who lived in La Paz and El Alto, Bolivia.

Key Words: Bolivia • reproductive health • violence • women
