Abstract

The poor reputation of the NHS in dealing with domestic violence is not helped by a lack of evidence on effective approaches to it. Screening programmes modestly increase disclosure of abuse but few studies measure outcome. Healthcare professionals should be alert to the possibility of domestic violence if the path to homelessness is to be avoided.
