Notes:	This Victorian study explored the association between GPs’ communication and patients’ comfort to discuss fear of an intimate partner. The results of the survey showed that female GPs were perceived as having better communication, however an association between female GPs and comfort to disclose was not found in multivariate analyses. Communication skills included time, caring, involving the patient in decisions and putting the patient at ease.
