dc.description.notesObjective. Domestic violence is associated with significant mortality and morbidity including gynecological morbidity. We report the prevalence and associations of domestic violence in an Australian colposcopy service.Materials and Methods. A prospective study was performed from consecutive patients attending colposcopy clinics at a major metropolitan hospital in Australia. Key outcomes were the prevalence of intimate partner violence and its key demographic associations.Results. Consent was obtained from 574 and domestic violence status was ascertained in 566 of 581 women approached. Overall, 33% of responders reported violence within 12 months. In 14.5%, the female reported being sole recipient of violence; in a further 16.6%, violence was bidirectional, and in 1.9% of cases, a woman was the sole perpetrator. Key associations of violence were younger age at presentation (32 vs 35 y; p = .01), higher rates of smoking (51.3% vs 38.2%; p = .0004), higher rates of housing instability (32.2% vs 12.2%; p < .0001), a positive Beck Depression Inventory screen (50.0% vs 24.6%; p < .0001), and higher rates of default to initial attendance (15.5% vs 4.7%, p < .0001).Conclusions. Domestic violence is common in women presenting to colposcopy services and may be associated with poor housing stability and higher default rates.<br/ >Author's Address:<br/ >Quinlivan, JASuite 106,Private Consulting Rooms,Joondalup Hlth, Joondalup, WA 6027, AustraliaSuite 106,Private Consulting Rooms,Joondalup Hlth, Joondalup, WA 6027, AustraliaUniv Notre Dame Australia, Fremantle, WA, AustraliaRamsay Healthcare Joondalup Hlth Campus, Joondalup, WA, AustraliaEdith Cowan Univ, Joondalup, WA, Australia<br/ >013SMTimes Cited:0Cited References Count:19en
