title: [Screening protocol of spouse abuse. Efficacy measure].
abstract: Screening protocols that can be used to identify domestic violence are lacking (Gendron, 1987), as are studies evaluating the effects of using these protocols. With the objective of screening domestic violence, the Saint-Hubert CLSC has developed a protocol by in collaboration with the Centre de recherche interdisciplinaire sur la violence familiale et la violence faite aux femmes (CRI-VIFF). Evaluation of the domestic violence screening protocol established at the Saint-Hubert CLSC indicates that the number of cases in which domestic violence was detected was 3 times higher after the screening protocol was put in place, and 15 times higher at the Saint-Hubert CLSC than at the CLSC used as a comparison site.
