520 _aThe intent of this study was to determine the rate of family violence recorded by general practitioners (GPs) during consultations. A sample of 447,809 consultations involving 143,634 patients from 41 general practices across New Zealand was examined for those documenting family violence issues. Three hundred and thirty-seven of the original sample of 447,809 registered a family violence issue. The most common type of family violence recorded by GPs was physical abuse (42%), followed by sexual abuse (26%). Mental health issues, including depression and anxiety disorders, were noted in 18% of consultations. The authors conclude that there are low numbers of general practice consultations recording family violence. However, GPs may not always record this information, or patients may not be forthcoming in disclosing family violence. Recommendations include more training for GPs in recognising and responding to family violence.
