Figure 1. Coding scheme for the audiotaped physician–patient interactions.
Shaded areas represent measured primary outcomes; after training, intercoder reliability was good for all measures (κ = 0.82 to 1.0).
* “Discussion opportunity” refers to whether the patient or physician raised the possibility of the patient being at risk for intimate partner violence or control.

IQR = interquartile range.
* Informed consent could not be completed because patients were called into visit (n = 40) or the research room was busy (n = 29).
† 1 patient left before the visit because the physician was behind schedule; 2 physicians canceled the visits because of personal emergency; and 1 physician assigned the visit to a resident.
‡ The physician withdrew because the participant had mental health issues.
§ The physician and patient conversed in a language not understood by the coders.
