Table 1 Focus group interview guide

From: Factors that facilitate recognition and management of domestic violence by primary care physicians in a Chinese context - a mixed methods study in Hong Kong

1. What symptoms or signs may enable you to recognize patients encountering domestic violence (intimate partner violence)? Is there any real case that you can share?

2. After recognizing these patients, how do you manage them? Any concerns or difficulties? How do you solve them?

3. Would you refer the patients to other professionals like nurses and social workers? Do the patients follow your advice?

4. How would you evaluate the present collaboration among health professionals in offering help to these patients? Do you have enough support? How can it be strengthened?
