Estimates are that 2 million women are battered each year by their male partner. To prevent battering and promote physical safety, Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas added four abuse-assessment questions to the standard intake form for all initial and annual-visit clients. To establish the prevalence of battering, all intake forms completed at four clinics during a one-month period were analyzed. A total of 793 forms were reviewed. The prevalence of physical battering was 8.2 percent. When the characteristics of the battered women were compared with the non-battered, statistically significant differences existed. Information on the health consequences of battering are presented along with suggested assessment questions.
据估计，每年有200万女性遭受男性伴侣的殴打。为防止殴打行为并促进人身安全，休斯顿和德克萨斯州东南部的计划生育组织在所有初次就诊和年度就诊客户的标准 intake 表格中增加了四个虐待评估问题。为确定殴打行为的普遍程度，对在一个月内四个诊所填写的所有 intake 表格进行了分析。共审查了793份表格。身体受虐的比例为8.2%。将受虐女性的特征与未受虐女性进行比较时，存在统计学上的显著差异。文中还介绍了殴打行为对健康造成的后果以及建议的评估问题。
