A multilevel analysis was carried out by fitting a random effects logistic regression model for every intervention/referral.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The most frequent interventions of the GP were providing a certificate of injury (54 %), and making an appointment for a next visit (33 %). Half of the patients were referred or hospitalised upon the first consultation, most frequently they were advised to go to the police (17 %) or referred to a psychologist or psychiatrist (11 %). The intra cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) of the interventions varied between 11 % and 39 % and the median odds ratios between 1,82 and 3,96.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;GP consultations for domestic violence are frequent and involve considerable between-physician variability in care.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19288287?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
