Notes:	This article describes a brief multimedia tutorial in DVD format for dental instructors and practicing dentists in the US, to educate dentists about providing an effective response to domestic violence. It is based on a 4-stage process called AVDR: asking:patients about abuse; providing validating:messages that acknowledge that the abuse is wrong while confirming the patient’s worth; documenting:in writing and with photographs the signs, symptoms and disclosures in the dental record; and referring:victims to specialists and community resources. The tutorial presents different ways the dentist can ask the patient about domestic violence. Participants select among different questions which a dentist could ask a patient. These inputs then lead to a variety of reactions from the patient for a simulated dentist-patient interaction. The tutorial takes 15 minutes to complete. A research team tested the tutorial and found that the tutorial significantly improved knowledge and intended behaviours about domestic violence.
