Answer to Question 1

C
About 25 to 33 of women in the United States will experience IPV in their lifetimes, and being a survivor of IPV is often associated with poor physical and mental health outcomes.
Victims should not be blamed for using resources. Working with victims of IPV to create a plan of care that responds to their needs is no more time consuming than working with other types of patients.
It is not a legal requirement to screen all women for IPV, but consensus practice guidelines are available that provide recommendations for when screening should occur.
There are a significant number of people affected by IPV, but this response is not specific enough.

Answer to Question 2

C
Mental health providers are absent in 40 of rural communities, leaving a large share of mental health treatment to primary care physicians and other providers.
Although medications may be improving, no data are available to suggest fewer people are being diagnosed with depression.
Mental health providers are not coming to rural areas in higher numbers and are actually absent from about 40 of rural locations.
Transportation is a problem for many rural residents.
