The Department of Public Health, the Mass. Medical Society and Jane Doe Inc. host a training forum for health care providers, include physicians and nurses. The forum is a follow-up to Gov. Patrick's issuing of a public health advisory on domestic violence. Homicides related to domestic violence have tripled in the last three years, according to Jane Doe, an advocacy group. In 2007, there were 42 murders and 13 suicides - averaging almost one a week and the highest rate since the early '90s - up from 2005, there were 15 murders and four suicides.
