Domestic violence is reported frequently when Australian women are surveyed and is associated with poorer health outcomes on a variety of measures. Routine screening for domestic violence is a strategy designed to both prevent domestic violence and provide an opportunity for early intervention.
Following staff consultation and training, a 1-month pilot of routine screening for domestic violence (RSDV) of all female patients was conducted in a large sexual health clinic.
Following the evaluation of this pilot, RSDV was introduced in 2003 for all new female patients. Of the 3244 women eligible for screening, 2893 (89%) were screened. Of these, 254 (8.8%) identified domestic violence.
Routine screening for domestic violence is feasible in a sexual health clinic population. High screening rates were achieved and high rates of domestic violence were identified, providing an opportunity for intervention.
在对澳大利亚女性进行调查时，家庭暴力的报告屡见不鲜，并且在各种衡量标准下都与较差的健康结果相关。家庭暴力的常规筛查是一种旨在预防家庭暴力并提供早期干预机会的策略。
在工作人员进行磋商和培训之后，一家大型性健康诊所对所有女性患者进行了为期1个月的家庭暴力常规筛查试点。
在对该试点进行评估之后，2003年对所有新的女性患者实施了家庭暴力常规筛查。在3244名符合筛查条件的女性中，有2893名（89%）接受了筛查。其中，254名（8.8%）确认遭受了家庭暴力。
在性健康诊所人群中进行家庭暴力常规筛查是可行的。筛查率很高，并且确认了很高的家庭暴力发生率，从而提供了干预的机会。
