A new study is the first to examine the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder and dozens of infection types in a nationwide cohort. Researchers found that PTSD affects infection risks for men and women differently, having, for example, more of an effect on a woman's risk of urinary tract infection and a man's risk of skin infection.

The forensic nursing community has long known that the lack of expert Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) throughout the country has been a major barrier regarding attempts to increase the number of SANEs. Many nurses complete the didactic SANE course, but then find it difficult to identify an expert SANE in their clinical area who can then mentor them through their first exams with a patient who has been sexually assaulted. The mentor would then be available to them to answer their questions as they begin to accumulate their required hours and expertise in order to sit for the certification exam. For those nurses who do not have a SANE mentor where they work, there are clinical courses that are sometimes offered at a site where the nurse can attend a 2-3 day hands on experience in order to learn how to conduct an exam.

Survivors like Julie Waters carry the damage with them for years after leaving violent relationships. Waters says she spent two years dating a man who, by the end of their relationship, hit her "four or five times a day."
