LOINC description : The Hurt-Insult-Threaten-Scream (HITS) screening tool was developed as a quick, four
question, domestic violence screen. Each response has a corresponding numeric value,
ranging from 1(rarely) to 5 (frequently). The four individual values are summed for
a total score between 4 and 20. A cumulative score greater than 10 indicates the possibility
of domestic partner abuse. [PMID: 24652635];
