To determine which community agencies were promising sites for public-health screening for intimate assaults, we reviewed police records of 142 victim-perpetrator pairs involved in intimate assaults in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1984. Records of contacts the pairs had with the major county hospital serving Atlanta and with six other community agencies had previously been reviewed. Epidemiologic screening markers of sensitivity and predictive value positive were used to evaluate agency contacts as potential risk markers for intimate assault. The county hospital appeared promising as a site for public-health screening. This finding lends support to recommendations for identification and referral of abuse victims
