Article Synopsis
- Domestic violence (DV) significantly impacts the health of victims and their families, but routine screening for DV in Australian emergency departments (EDs) is rare despite its benefits.
- A survey of 76 ED clinicians revealed that while most support screening for DV, many feel uncomfortable and lack training, with 88.7% indicating insufficient preparation for such inquiries.
- The findings highlight the need for better training and support for ED clinicians to help them effectively screen for DV before implementing routine practices.
