Notes:	Reports on a study which investigated women’s responses to being screened for domestic violence during a routine prenatal clinic visit. Fifteen hundred pregnant women were asked to complete a self-report questionnaire following a consultation where they had been screened for domestic violence. Of the 1313 respondents, 98% believed that it was a ‘good idea’ to screen for domestic violence and over 96% felt ‘OK’ during the process. Concludes that women in both urban and rural settings found screening for domestic violence acceptable and, when health providers are suitably trained, screening should be included in taking a routine health history.
