Notes:	Outlines the methodology and results of a US study aimed at examining the impact of interview location on participation bias in domestic violence prevalence research. The array of methodologies and terminology adopted to provide estimates of intimate partner violence are reviewed and the range of factors that may impact on the accuracy of these measurements, such as severity of abuse, are highlighted. Suggests that the findings of the study indicate a need to employ a variety of methodologies in assessing the prevalence of domestic violence, so that those women who do not participate out of fear of reprisal from the perpetrator might also be counted.
