Setting: Family practice clinic in an urban Hospital

N = 293 women

Intervention Type: RCT (2 arms)

Intervention: usual care + computer survey

Duration: 7 months (March–September 2005)

Follow-up: NA

Intervention group: 144

Primary Outcome

-Initiation of discussion about risk for IPVC (discussion opportunity)

-detection of women at risk based on review of audiotaped medical visits.

Secondary outcomes

provider assessment of patient safety

provision of appropriate referrals and advice for follow-up

patient acceptance of the computerized screening

Measurement Tools

IPVC questions from:

Abuse Assessment Screen,

Partner Violence Screen,

items from Improving Health Care Response to Domestic Violence: A Resource Manual For Health Care Providers

Depression questions

Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale,

Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression,

Geriatric Depression Scale

Computer Acceptance

acceptance of computer-assisted screening by using the Computerized Lifestyle Assessment Scale (CLAS)

Control group: 149

Usual care

Attrition: 7%

Primary outcomes

-Computer screening was associated with statistically significantly more opportunities for discussing and detecting mental health disorders

-Opportunity to discuss IPVC arose for 35% (48/139) in the computer-screened group and 24% (34/141) of the usual care group

-Detection of IPVC occurred in 18% (25/139) of the computer-screened group and 9% (12/141) of the usual care group

Secondary outcomes

- provider assessment of patient safety: In IPVC positive detections, Physicians assessed patient safety more often in the computer-screened group: 9 of 25 participants in intervention vs 1 of 12 participants usual care group- Provision of appropriate referrals and advice for follow-up: 3 patients in the computer-screened group and 1 in the usual care group received referrals. During these visits, physicians asked patients to set up a follow-up appointment more often in the computer-screened group (20 of 25 participants) than in the usual care group (8 of 12 participants).

- Patient acceptance of the computerized screening: Participants agreed that screening was beneficial but had some concerns about privacy and interference with physician interactions
