| Notes: | Utilises the results of complementary quantitative and qualitative studies to assess the rates of and major barriers to disclosure of partner abuse by women attending general practice and to ascertain the extent to which general practitioners question patients about domestic abuse. Major barriers identified include women’s perception of the problem as their own, perceptions of general practitioners as unable or unwilling to help and the low rate of GP inquiry. Advocates for greater community recognition of domestic violence as a public health issue and the incorporation of training in communication skills and domestic violence education into medical school curricula. The introduction of routine screening however is not given unqualified support. |
