Danger Assessment was developed to help determine the level of danger an abused woman has of being killed by her partner, and is available in multiple languages. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Other tools that can be used to screen patients for domestic violence include the 4-item Hurt, Insult, Threaten, and Scream (which has been tested on men), Abuse Assessment Screen (available in Spanish), Assessment of Immediate Safety Screening Questions, and Domestic Violence Initiative Screening Questions.
