Notes:	Outlines the methodology and results of a Brisbane study aimed at testing the efficacy of direct questioning, using the Domestic Violence Initiative screening questions, versus self-report, using the self-report Maternity Social Support Scale, in identifying women experiencing intimate partner violence. Findings suggest the less confrontational mode of self-report was more conducive to detection of intimate violence than direct questioning although its applicability in a more general community setting is qualified. Recommends the use of the Maternity Social Support Scale to screen for domestic violence amongst women attending hospital-based maternity clinics.
