Filter by:The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a multi-level (youth, parent, school) Internet-based dating violence prevention program, 'Me & You-Tech' (MYT) for 6th-grade middle school students.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Me & You: Building Healthy Relationships, a classroom- and computer-based healthy relationships and dating violence prevention curriculum for 6th grade students, in a large, urban public school district in Southeast Texas.
This is a shortened interrupted time series pilot evaluation over a twelve month period to evaluate whether the combined Stepping Stones and Creating Futures intervention can reduce men's perpetration of IPV and women's experience of IPV, strengthen livelihoods and reduce gender inequality.
AIM: To assess the community level impact of the Gender Centre's Rural Response System (RRS) in reducing violence against women (VAW) in Ghana. METHODS: Design: An unmatched cluster randomised controlled trial with two arms i) Intervention arm- Receive Gender Centre's RRS /COMBAT package for communities as well as state agencies. Control arm - No intervention. Qualitative component Setting: Rural and urban communities in the Central Region of Ghana. i). Rural and urban communities in four (4) Districts located in the Central Region of Ghana. Two districts are along the Coast (Abura and Komenda) while the other two (Agona and Upper Denkyira) are inland districts. ii). State Agencies (DOVVSU/Police, CHRAJ, Social Welfare, and Health Services). Interventions: Carried out in two Districts - Agona district and Komenda district. Workings of the intervention arm will be facilitated by the Gender Studies and Human Rights Documentation Centre in Ghana. Sample size: A total of 3280 adults (1640 women and 1640 men) from 20 clusters per trial arm (approximately 82 households per cluster) will be recruited at baseline and again at post-intervention survey. Sampling format will be a community survey with independent samples design (i.e. in each community, the people surveyed at baseline may not necessarily be the same people who are surveyed at post intervention. Clusters refer to the selected localities and their participating communities in each district. Evaluation design: Pre-test all study participants with a standardized instrument then introduce the independent variable (intervention) to the experimental group while withholding it from the control group. After 24 months of intervention, post-test both groups with the same instrument and under the same conditions as the pretest (baseline). Compare the amount of change in dependent variable for both experimental and control groups. Data analysis: The data will be analysed by intention to treat. The past 12 months prevalence of IPV will be compared between arms in the study.
This study is an optimization study to evaluate how a wraparound program for youth who have been injured by violence helps to change violence related attitudes and beliefs, change individual risk factors for violence and reduce the risk of future injury due to violence. Wraparound care involves linking the youth with a support worker who will work with the youth to develop positive support networks and help them link with services that address risk factors towards future violence.
The pilot study aims to conduct a randomized pilot trial in a sample of 40 incarcerated women with lifetime interpersonal violence who are 6-10 weeks away from release to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed recruitment methods and research design, of the intervention training methods, of delivering the enhanced Women's Coop and nutrition control interventions. Per recent guidance from NIMH, the investigators will also examine 95% confidence intervals around differences between the proposed intervention and a dose-matched control condition (Nutrition Program), for the following outcomes through 8 months post prison release: reduced unprotected vaginal or anal sex occasions and fewer cases of vaginal trichomoniasis (primary); reduced interpersonal violence episodes, symptoms of PTSD and depression, and drug using/heavy drinking days (secondary); and increased affect management and social support (including effectiveness in obtaining substance use, mental health treatment and other resources) (tertiary).
