RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Prevalence and correlates of domestic violence among people seeking treatment for self-harm: data from a regional self-harm register JF Emergency Medicine Journal JO Emerg Med J FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and the British Association for Accident & Emergency Medicine SP 407 OP 409 DO 10.1136/emermed-2018-207561 VO 36 IS 7 A1 Tom Rollo Dalton A1 Duleeka Knipe A1 Gene Feder A1 Salena Williams A1 David Gunnell A1 Paul Moran YR 2019 UL http://emj.bmj.com/content/36/7/407.abstract AB Background Previous research suggests that there is an association between domestic violence (DV) and self-harm (SH). Yet, the prevalence and clinical significance of DV among individuals presenting acutely to hospital with SH in the UK is unknown.Objective To measure the prevalence and correlates of DV among patients presenting to hospital with SH.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using registry data in order to describe the prevalence of DV within a UK population of people presenting to the emergency department (ED) with SH (n=1142).Results 11.1% (95% CI 9.4% to 13.1%) of the sample reported DV. Those reporting DV were more likely to be female and separated from a partner. DV was associated with self-poisoning and with previous occurrence of SH.Conclusion Our findings suggest that DV victimisation is more prevalent among those presenting to ED with self-harm than among the general population of ED attenders, and that the presence of DV may signify increased risk among those presenting to ED with SH.
