Notes:	Comment on: BMJ. 2002 Jul 6;325(7354):44 The authors challenge the assessment reported by Webster and Creedy about the positive outcomes generated by screening domestic violence. Taft and Hegarty claim that there is not sufficient evidence to support the notion that screening has improved diagnosis, health services and information provision to women who experience intimate partner violence. Few studies have been conducted to measure the success of screening policies. Moreover, some negative outcomes for women who disclose their experiences of abuse to general practitioners have been found.
