The aim of this scoping review was to identify and compare available screening tools for reproductive coercion and abuse (RCA; defined as deliberate interference in reproductive choices) in healthcare settings. Four online databases were searched for peer reviewed articles. Grey literature was searched independently. In total 14 screening tools were identified. Most were used as entry points for interventions and not evaluated separately, however, two of the screening tools were validated. Overlap between RCA screening and intimate partner violence (IPV) was noted. Language and method of screening varied between screening tools. Future work is needed in this area to strengthen guidance for practitioners.
