N2  - Data sources: Ovid, Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, LILACS, CENTRAL, bibliographies of identified RCTs, Current Controlled Trials, domestic violence organisations, handsearching of a number of articles. Study selection: This is an update of a review reported in 2004. Randomised controlled trials in any language that included adults (persons >16 years of age) presenting with facial or dental injuries to dental or healthcare settings. Eligible interventions were: referral to support services or screening for domestic violence. Eligible outcomes were: frequency of physical assault by self-report, severity of injury by self-report and proportion of victims of domestic violence detected by self-report. Data extraction and synthesis: Two reviewers screened potential reports and would have data extracted had suitable RCTs been included. Results: No RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Conclusions: There is also no evidence from RCTs to suggest that screening for domestic violence in adults with dental or facial injury in any health setting is beneficial or harmful.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
