Notes:	This study investigates the prevalence of domestic violence among patients attending emergency services at Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital. Adult patients and parents accompanying children were given self-administered anonymous questionnaires over a three-month period in 1994. A history of domestic violence was reported by 14.1 per cent of patients and 16.3 of parents. Some of the issues discussed are the type and length of violence, the identity of the perpetrator, gender differences and abuse as a child.
