Objective: To evaluate the impact of patient and provider variables on intimate partner violence screening rates in an ambulatory gynecology practice.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 300 patients chosen randomly from annual healthcare visits during 2007 at a university-affiliated ambulatory gynecology clinic. All encounters were recorded on a standardized health history form which included questions about abuse history. Data on patient and provider characteristics were collected. The association of provider screening with selected patient variables was assessed using multivariable logistic regression.

Results: The median age of the study population was 29 (range 15-73). In general, the cohort was racially/ethnically diverse and the majority was on government assistance. Sixty-seven percent (194/291) had children living at home, and 57% (164/286) were single.  Of the 300 patients, 243 (81%) had documentation of abuse screening in their medical records. Variables previously found to be associated with higher rates of partner abuse, such as younger age, increased parity, or substance abuse, did not influence whether patients were screened. Similarly, differences in screening by provider type (NP/resident) or gender did not emerge. Patients were, however, significantly more likely to be questioned about partner violence when they received other preventive screening (adjusted OR 2.50 (1.26-4.99)) or presented with a somatic pain complaint (adjusted OR 2.55 (1.12-5.83).

Conclusion: Ambulatory gynecology patients were more likely to be screened for intimate partner violence when providers performed other preventive health screening utilizing a standardized health history form.
