title: [Domestic abuse of dementia patients: data collection in a difficult research area].
abstract: In the context of a longitudinal dementia caregiver stress study, a short questionnaire was developed in order to assess domestic abuse of dementia patients. By embedding the sensitive topic of domestic violence in a different research context, good compliance in the sample could be achieved which results in high prevalence rates.
