Abstract
Ideally, emergency departments (EDs) provide trauma-responsive care to sexual assault (SA) survivors and connect them with longitudinal physical and mental health services. However, qualitative studies indicate that ED care may retraumatize survivors, and a 2013 survey found that only ∼20% of US hospitals provide comprehensive services. The aims of this study were to 1) document updated trends in the quality-of-care and resources offered to SA survivors, and 2) identify potential disparities according to geographic regions in the US, urban versus rural clinic locations, and the availability of sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs).
