Annotation: Health Partners on Intimate Partner Violence + Exploitation and the School-Based Health Alliance, partnered to train school-based healthcare (SBHC) providers and staff on strategies for addressing ARA among their patients. This intervention was informed by a previous study in SBHCs that found that patients who received brief universal education and harm reduction counseling about ARA were more likely to recognize sexual coercion, had increased knowledge of relationship abuse resources, and had increased self-efficacy to use harm reduction behaviors.
