  1. Describe the racial/ethnic and nativity disparities in physical Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
  2. Demonstrate an understanding of the physical social, and economic factors related to physical Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)
  3. Describe the social determinants that impact survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and how social workers can affect practice and policy change on micro to macro systemic levels
