First, the authors used 2 groups of women, a screened group (n = 3271) and a nonscreened group (n = 3472), to assess the effectiveness of IPV screening. The screened group completed the Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST) before seeing the clinician, and the nonscreened group completed it after seeing the clinician. In the screened group, the information was given to the clinician when a woman screened positive on WAST. Because the study gave clinicians standardized training in responding to IPV, clinicians were expected to discuss IPV with the WAST-positive women.
