NCT ID: NCT04563728 Terminated - Aging Clinical Trials

Use Surveillance Technology to Reduce Elder Abuse Recidivism

MC
Start date: May 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The project is to build multi-sector and multi-institutional partnerships to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a pilot surveillance camera intervention (N=10) to reduce the frequency and severity of abuse, exploitation, and neglect in community older adults.

NCT ID: NCT03672942 Not yet recruiting - Aggression Clinical Trials

Communication Skills vs. Mindfulness for IPV

Start date: September 15, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This tests the immediate impact of two brief interventions on couples reporting intimate partner violence using the proximal change experimental design. Couples will be randomly assigned to a mindfulness conditions, a communication exercise or a placebo condition. Outcome measures include observed and experimentally assessed aggression.

NCT ID: NCT03341455 Completed - Clinical trials for Intimate Partner Violence

Family Violence and Alcohol and Drug Misuse in Sri Lanka

Start date: January 23, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators aim to implement a community-based support program delivered by preschool teachers and volunteer parents that will increase awareness, knowledge and uptake of available services for IPV and substance misuse, and of the link between these issues and poorer education outcomes in children. Through this, the aim is to decrease the prevalence of IPV and substance misuse. The proposed method of implementation is to deliver targeted training to preschool teachers, mothers with children at the preschools, fathers with children at the preschools, and community development officers managing preschools. This project will target the most vulnerable sections of the community and will provide a sustainable and feasible strategy for scale up of the intervention. By intervening through these preschools the investigators aim to identify and support high-risk families early enough to arrest the cycle of violence that results in children themselves becoming victims and perpetrators of such violence.

NCT ID: NCT02158962 Recruiting - Domestic Violence Clinical Trials

Empowered Sisters Project Making Choices Reducing Risks

ESP
Start date: August 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to combine a culturally tailored and integrated Risk Reduction Intervention in the US Virgin Islands (USVI) in a clinical trial randomly assigning abused women to a 1) Healthy Relationships experimental group of three sessions of risk reduction interventions or 2) a Healthy Living comparison control group of three session of health promotion activities to determine if the combined, intervention is safe and effective in a test the following hypotheses: 1. Women in the integrated risk reduction intervention will score significantly lower on outcome measures of intimate partner abuse (IPA) and STD/HIV risk behaviors end of Session III and at 3 and 6 months than women in the control group 2. Women in the integrated risk reduction Intervention will score significantly higher on IPA safety behaviors and STI/HIV prevention behaviors at end of Session III and at 3 and 6 months than women in the control group. Several exploratory and major controlled studies on the mainland US have shown intimate partner violence (IPV) and intimate partner abuse (IPA) to be risk factors for a variety of physical, reproductive and mental health problems, including sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, many of which are areas of known health disparity for African American and Latina women. A recently completed study of African Caribbean and African American women in the US Virgin Islands revealed that nearly one third of women reported lifetime partner abuse and increased risk for sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS. Abused women in the USVI had significantly more risk factors for HIV/AIDS than did women who were not abused. The proposed intervention combines an empowerment model designed to help abused women make choices that protect the physical and emotional health of the woman and her family with a sexual safety model designed to help her make choices to reduce her risk of acquiring an STI or contracting HIV/AIDS. The integrated model adapts two interventions that have been tested with African American women on the US mainland and found to be effective as separate interventions for IPV and IPA and reducing the risk of STI/HIV. The adapted interventions will be used with abused African Caribbean women based on an a priori assessment of the cultural attitudes, beliefs and resources available to women living in an island environment with limited resources.
