Filter by:Adapting mental health treatments to address modifiable interpersonal problems has the potential to improve and sustain outcomes in low-resource settings where treatment gaps persist. This K23 Award will prepare the candidate to become an independent investigator with high-impact public health research and expertise in couple-based interventions that address interrelated mental health problems and intimate partner violence in couples by gaining expertise in engagement and treatment of men, adapting an evidence-based treatment for common mental disorders to address IPV in couples, designing and conducting randomized controlled trials with couples, and professional skills development. This work has applicability for low-resource low-income countries and US populations that experience couple-based violence and the mental health treatment gap. With its focus on intimate partners, the intervention also has the potential to benefit health and wellbeing of children.
The research will be conducted in a randomized control group experimental research design. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the bystander intervention program developed for dating violence in nursing students. The Bystander Intervention Program will be developed after a literature review on the subject and taking into account previous evidence-based research. The population of the study will consist of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Department of Nursing, Turkish Program 1st year students (N=130). In the sample size calculation, the data reported in similar studies in the literature were used (Rothman et al. 2018). The representativeness of the study was calculated as β=80%, α=0.05 (effect size: 0.6), and a total of 80 samples were calculated as a result of power analysis, 40 intervention, and 40 control groups. Participants will be assigned to the experimental or control group by computer-based simple randomization method. Data will be collected between February 19, 2024, and June 19, 2024. Data will be collected face-to-face using the Individual Information Form, Bystander Efficacy Scale, Intention to Help Scale-Short Version, Bystander Behavior Scale (For Friends), and Program Evaluation Form. The data obtained from the research will be evaluated with the SPSS package program.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of Fathers for Change (F4C) compared to standard Batterer Intervention for fathers with a history of Intimate Partner Violence. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Is F4C more efficacious than standard BIP in reducing family violence and child mental health impairment? 2. What are the trajectories of therapeutic change targets across interventions? 3. Does father's emotion regulation and reflective functioning mediate the relationship between the two interventions and child-related outcomes? Participants will be randomized to either Fathers for Change on Batterer Intervention.
The purpose of the study will be to determine how participation in Family-Centered Care (FCC) compared to Child-centered care (CCC) will affect caregiver engagement in IPV-based community services, caregiver perceptions of empowerment and survivor-defined practice, and clinical outcomes for children exposed to IPV.
Document evidence, via cluster randomized controlled trial, of the effectiveness of the ARCHES intervention, a brief, clinic-based counselling intervention demonstrated to reduce intimate partner violence and reproductive coercion and promote women's reproductive health, as scaled in government health facilities in Kenya, to (1) decrease unintended pregnancy, (2) increase family planning uptake and use/continuation, (3) decrease experiences of reproductive coercion and intimate partner violence of women and girls aged 15 to 49 years seeking family planning services, and, to (4) improve quality of care, (5) increase gender equitable attitudes, and, (6) increase self-efficacy to provide comprehensive family planning counseling among providers trained in ARCHES.
The purpose of this R34 exploratory research proposal is to conduct formative work for a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the effectiveness of the "Mother AdvocateS In the Community (MOSAIC) Plus" intervention to reduce depressive and PTSD symptoms and prevent additional IPV among pregnant women and mothers with children under 5 experiencing IPV. The MOSAIC Plus intervention will integrate IPT principles and skills into the MOSAIC intervention in order to expand it to address consequences of IPV, including depression and PTSD symptoms. The proposed open trial will enroll 15 pregnant women who report experience of IPV in the past 6 months, and who screen positive for elevated depressive and/or PTSD symptoms. The intervention lasts 6 months after enrollment.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test an intervention consisting of a combination of behavioral couples therapy and motivational interviewing to improve communication and reduce conflicts between couples and decrease harmful drinking among spouses in urban primary health centers, South India. The intervention will be delivered by nurses in primary health centers who will be supervised by a clinical psychologist. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Do the wives of the couples in the intervention report less intimate partner violence (IPV) after 12 months, compared to wives in couples in a control group? - Do the husbands of the couples in the intervention show less alcohol consumption after 12 months, compared to husbands in couples in a control group? Husbands will participate in Motivational Interview (MI) sessions targeted at reducing their alcohol use. Husband and wife will participate in Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT) targeted at improving their marital relationship. These intervention participants will be compared to a control group who will receive only referral information for intimate partner violence and an educational session and referral for alcohol use disorder. All participants will participate in quantitative interviews at baseline, and every three months thereafter, for a period of one year. In-depth qualitative interviews will be done with a subgroup of couples to try to understand how the intervention led to the observed outcomes.
A significant proportion of women in Ethiopia suffer from violence by their intimate partner during pregnancy(IPVp), which has adverse maternal and newborn outcomes. Intervention addressing their intimate partners are not well-studied, particularly in Ethiopian setting. The investigators use a cluster randomized control study to evaluate the effectiveness of Couple-Based Violence Prevention Education(CBVPE). CBVPE is an intervention aimed to improve experience of violence during pregnancy, male partners knowledge, attitudes and controlling behavior towards intimate partner violacein this study kebeles found under each districts will be used as clusters. Sixteen clusters will be randomly assigned into one of two arms, each comprised of 216 couples. A total of 864 participants (432 pregnant women and 432 their male partners will be recruited for the study. women in the control group will receive the usual care provided by Health Extension Workers(HEWs), which is routine care. The intervention arm, wife and husband will be exposed to CBVPE that explores maternal health, intimate partner violence, adverse effects of violence during pregnancy, triggers of IPV, managing triggers of IPV, problem solving skills and health relationship. Our hypothesis is that CBVPE is superior to routine care in reducing and /or controlling intimate partner violence during pregnancy in HadiyaZone, Southwest Ethiopia. Structured interviewer administered questionnaire will be used to collect data at base-line and end-line.
