Abuse Screening Tools

Abuse screening tools are structured questionnaires or checklists used by healthcare professionals, social workers, or counselors to identify potential cases of abuse, such as domestic violence, child abuse, or elder abuse. These tools consist of specific questions that help uncover signs or symptoms of abuse that a person may be experiencing. The aim is to create a safe space for individuals to share their experiences and ensure they receive appropriate support and intervention. By systematically assessing risk factors, these tools help in recognizing abuse that might otherwise go unnoticed.
