Clinical Trial Summary

Domestic violence during pregnancy can directly or indirectly cause maternal and fetal morbidity and even mortality. The investigators have validated the Abuse Assessment Screen to the Nepali context for use with a color-coded audio computer assisted self-interview method among pregnant women. This instrument will be used to identify women experiencing domestic violence during or shortly prior to their current pregnancy. In addition, an intervention video was developed. The aim of the video is to encourage women to take safety actions, in particular telling someone about the violence experienced. Women in the control group will watch a video on a healthy pregnancy and sign and symptoms of complications and what to to if these occur.The control video was chosen to increase blinding. This study aims to investigate the effect of the video compared to an intervention video.
