Abstract
Substance use problems among women survivors of intimate partner abuse (IPA) present unique challenges in screening for the co-occurrence of these 2 issues. The lack of coordinated efforts and integrated services is startling given the prevalence and subsequent risks among those who suffer at the crossroads of these 2 complex and interrelated problems. This article critically examines the issues in screening to identify IPA victimization and substance abuse in selected service delivery systems. The philosophical, programmatic, and policy implications for the implementation of integrated screening and intervention across these service delivery systems are discussed as a more comprehensive approach to helping women IPA survivors who abuse substances.
