The methodology and analysis of this research used a feminist framework. This framework assumes that the underlying dynamic of violence is one of power and control. The research investigates the impact of intervention on women, children and perpetrators, through women's recollections. The women's participation was facilitated by a GP who practices routine screening for violence. Results suggest that GPs who practice violence intervention provide support which empowers women to make decisions about life-changes to stop the violence. Findings show that GPs are in a front-line position to have significant impact on the health and wellbeing of women by communicating a zero tolerance of violence.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
