摘要
This study sought to determine how rape victims are managed in emergency departments with respect to disease and pregnancy prevention. Surveys were sent to directors of emergency medicine residencies and pediatric emergency medicine fellowships. Results indicate that there is some discrepancy between presence of an institutional policy and practice. (c) 2005 Society for Adolescent Medicine. All rights reserved.
