June 24, 2025 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released today a final recommendation statement on screening for intimate partner violence and caregiver abuse of older or vulnerable adults. The Task Force determined that clinicians should screen women of reproductive age, including those who are pregnant and postpartum, for intimate partner violence. More research is needed to recommend for or against screening for caregiver abuse in older or vulnerable adults. To view the recommendation, the evidence on which it is based, and a summary for clinicians, please go here. The final recommendation statement can also be found in the June 24 online issue of JAMA.
