Notes:	This article discusses the rationale for considering self-administered computerised intimate partner violence (IPV) screening questionnaires in US primary care settings (family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology), and the issues that have to be addressed prior to the implementation of IPV screening. Implementation of the Computerised Intimate Partner Violence Screen (CIPVS) tool is described. The CIPVS is being used in a randomised trial to assess the effectiveness of screening when combined with a structured intervention. Safety and privacy issues are considered. It concludes that the computerised summary of IPV and other risks enable the physicians to focus their time on further assessment, health education, counselling, referrals or other interventions. Integrating IPV risk screening with other primary care screening measures then puts IPV in the context of a woman’s overall health to increase the likelihood of early identification and intervention. A printed version of the CIPVS tool is attached in Figure 1.
