This series of editorials will provide CJEM readers with an opportunity to hear differing perspectives on topics pertinent to the practice of emergency medicine. The debaters have been allocated opposing arguments on topics on which there is some controversy or perhaps scientific equipoise. We continue with the topic of screening for domestic violence (DV) or intimate partner violence (IPV) in the emergency department (ED), a source of debate and discussion among health advocates, social workers, police, and clinicians. We know that patients, usually women, who have been assaulted by a partner often present to the ED for medical treatment. Is it the role of the ED staff to screen all patients, or even groups of high-risk patients, in the hope of uncovering those who have been assaulted but who do not volunteer that information? Would such an approach help these patients access appropriate support services, or might the anticipation of probing questions prevent some from seeking care in the first place? Do DV/IPV screening programs help victims escape their violent environment, or might it exacerbate the situation without the appropriate follow-up and support? Nikita Arora and Eddy Lang from the University of Calgary propose that ED screening for DV/IPV is appropriate and can be effective, andClarissa Hjalmarsson and Adrian Boyle from the University of Cambridge respond that while identifying patients who have experienced DV/IPV is important, routine screening is not the way to go about it. Readers can follow the debate on Twitter and vote for either perspective, by going to @CJEMonline or searching #CJEMdebate.
