Learning Objectives:

Understand the ethical and practical difficulties of recruiting men in a health setting to self-complete a questionnaire about domestic violence victimisation and perpetration
Identify key enablers and barriers to recruiting men for a domestic violence survey in a health setting

Description:
This is the first large-scale epidemiological study of men and domestic violence victimisation and perpetration in a healthcare setting. Part of PROVIDE, the biggest-ever programme of health-related domestic violence research in Europe, the goals are to measure prevalence of domestic violence amongst men, test associations with demography and health impact, and inform an intervention to improve primary care clinicians’ response. The poster highlights the barriers and enablers to recruiting a 1400-strong sample of men in a busy General Practice setting.
