Children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) are at increased risk for health problems. The moment that a mother seeks services for or safety from IPV may be a window of opportunity to offer needed health care for her children. To describe perceptions of child health conditions and needs among mothers seeking services for or safety from IPV, and to compare results in shelter- vs community-based samples. A cross-sectional survey between Fall 2013-Winter 2014 of women with at least one child 3–11 years of age seeking services at an urban YWCA, which supports a residential IPV shelter and a community-based family justice center. Child health conditions were captured using the Children with Special Health Care Needs survey and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Prevalence of health conditions among IPV-exposed children were compared to population norms. Perceived child health and health needs in the residential vs community settings were compared. Women (n=48) completed surveys related to 91 children. Special health care needs (25%) and behavioral health (52%) problems were significantly higher in our sample than in general populations. Almost one-quarter (24%) of children had a current need for general medical care and almost one-half (44%) had a current need for behavioral health care. No significant differences in child health conditions or needs between residential and community settings were observed. These findings extend prior research describing the health problems faced by children exposed to IPV by describing maternal perceptions of child health and need for health care in a critical moment of seeking help for IPV. Community agencies may use this window of opportunity to support child health and household safety.
