View clinical trials related to Intimate Partner Violence.
Filter by:To pilot and evaluate the integration of first-line response to gender- based violence (GBV), particularly intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual violence and reproductive coercion, within family planning (FP) and antenatal care (ANC) services at public health facilities in Ebonyi and Sokoto states in Nigeria. GBV first-line response in the health setting includes screening , empowerment counseling, safety planning, and support to connect to additional services needed.
The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences and benefits of offering an online mindfulness program that integrates resiliency factors to women.
The Vedic Counselling is the whole person approach, system of total life style counselling based on 'Vedic Laws of right living, right actions, right relationship and right awareness'.Vedic Counselling was developed as trauma focused therapy for this study to treat female victims of domestic abuse.
This is a single-site, randomized, controlled trial. Investigators will evaluate feasibility of the Emergency Department Healthcare Education Assessment and Response for Teen Relationships (ED-HEART) intervention among adolescents age 14-19 years receiving care in the Children's Mercy emergency department.
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 study will enroll 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.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social and public health issue. In the U.S., more than 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime. IPV has significant physical and mental health consequences such as injury, chronic pain, and depression. Chinese immigrants have been overlooked and underserved and represent an especially vulnerable group of IPV victims, as they are less likely to seek help through IPV service agencies, women's shelters, hospitals, or law enforcement. Effective IPV intervention programs that are culturally appropriate, accessible, and acceptable are essential to this underserved population. However, no studies have been conducted with abused Chinese immigrant women to help them deal with IPV and reduce mental health consequences. Therefore, the study adapted a structured IPV intervention from the Domestic Violence Enhanced Home Visitation Program (DOVE) as well as incorporate self-compassion and relaxation techniques for Chinese immigrant women experiencing IPV. The intervention is called Self-Compassion, Health, and Empowerment (SHE). The study will test the feasibility and acceptability of the SHE to reduce IPV and improve mental health well-being for abused Chinese immigrant women residing in the US.
The study has two main aims. The first aim is to optimise user engagement in ParentText. The goal is to identify the optimal delivery of ParentText for parents/caregivers from low- and middle-income countries, using a randomised between-subjects factorial experimental design. The second aim is to examine the preliminary effectiveness of the chatbot adaption of the Parenting for Lifelong Health programme, ParentText, on the primary outcome of child maltreatment and secondary outcomes of positive parenting, parental self-efficacy, parental communication about sexual abuse, financial stress, parental stress, child behaviour problems, and intimate partner violence. This study is part of a multi-phase research project. The full research project has been registered to the Open Science Framework platform. To address the first aim, the investigators will be conducting a factorial experiment which will examine the impact of four components, Personalisation (High/Low), Gamification (On/Off), Gender Targeting (On/Off), Frequency of message (1 per day/ 3 per day) on participant engagement. The factorial experiment will be conducted in two countries, Malaysia and South Africa. Within each country, the investigators have local partners who will be involved in deploying the intervention and recruiting participants. Parents/caregivers will be primarily recruited through country-specific UNICEF U-Report platforms and government partners. RapidPro, the programme on which the chatbot is deployed, will randomly allocate participants to the 16 experimental conditions. The purpose of the factorial experiment is to estimate the main and interaction effects of the four components. Based on the results the investigators will optimise the delivery of ParentText by selecting components or components levels that promote the highest level of engagement based on effect size. The second aim will be addressed by conducting latent growth curve models or multi-level models, to examine the changes in outcome variables over time. The experiment will be conducted across five countries, Malaysia, South Africa, the Philippines, Jamaica and Sri Lanka. Within each country, the investigators have local partners who will be involved in deploying the intervention and recruiting participants.
The investigators will assess the need and feasibility of randomising a sufficiently large number of women exposed to IPV during pregnancy in a full-scale future randomised trial. To achieve this, the investigators will: 1. estimate rates of consent to randomization, and the rates of adherence and dropout following randomization (for the use in sample size estimation) 2. determine recruitment duration 3. examine the women's perception about the benefit of the intervention 4. determine the reasons for acceptability, non-adherence, and obstacles to recruitment, randomisation and consent through qualitative interviews
Intimate partner violence (IPV), including violence in teen dating relationships [teen dating violence (TDV)], is a common and a serious threat to adolescent health, safety, and well-being. TDV may include psychological/emotional abuse, sexual harassment or coercion, stalking (including cyberstalking), and physical or sexual violence. For many, the first experience of violence is in a dating or casual relationship with a partner or acquaintance during adolescence. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of an adapted version of the myPlan app for adolescents (ages 15-17 years) to prevent and respond to TDV. myPlan is an app available for mobile download or by web browser that interactively assists users to assess the health and safety of user's intimate relationship, receive personalized strategies on how build healthier relationships, stay safe and healthy while navigating an unsafe relationship, and get connected to support and resources.
The Strength at Home Couples program is designed to enhance intimate relationships and prevent intimate partner violence (IPV) among service members and their partners in light of the unique stressors and experiences of this population.
