A MINUTE OF HEALTH WITH CDC
When Closeness Goes Wrong
Adverse Health Conditions and Health Risk Behaviors Associated with
Intimate Partner Violence — United States, 2005
February 14, 2008


This program is presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC – safer,
healthier people.


Closeness and intimacy with another person is one of the greatest experiences
of life, and a good relationship can have strong benefits for your health. But
violence between intimate partners can have the opposite effect. People who
experience violence from an intimate partner sometime in their lives have more
chronic diseases. Scientists are still trying to work out whether the violence
caused the diseases, or just exactly how the violence and the diseases are
related. If you have experienced violence from an intimate partner, call the
confidential National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE. Also, speak
with your doctor.
