This systematic review found that routine screening of women for domestic violence could reduce cases of abuse and injuries, and that general screening for domestic violence did not appear to harm women.
In January 2013 the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released its recommendations on screening for intimate partner violence and abuse of elderly and vulnerable adults based on this evidence report.
