Clinical Trial Summary
The goal of this observational study is to explore and learn about violence against women
(VAW) among reproductive-aged women in Asia and Oceania countries. The main questions it aims
to answer are:
- pattern and prevalence of VAW among reproductive-aged women
- knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards VAW among reproductive-aged women
- the need of support services for VAW among reproductive-aged women
Participants will be ever-partnered women aged 15-49 years. The definition of "ever-partnered
women" included women who have current and former husbands; current and former cohabiting; or
non-cohabiting male intimate partners.
Description:
Violence against women (VAW) is a global issue that threatens women's physical and emotional
wellbeing, and impacts women worldwide, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, or nationality.
This survey aims to investigate 1) the pattern and prevalence of VAW among reproductive-aged
women; 2) the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards VAW among reproductive-aged
women; and 3) the need of support services for VAW among reproductive-aged women.
This multinational, hospital-based, cross-sectional study will be carried out in Asia and
Oceania countries. We will select the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Department or
Women Health Unit in each nation. Minimum of 400 female citizen in each country will be
recruited if they are aged 15-49 years, ever-partnered women, and agree to finish the
questionnaire.
The questionnaire, developed in English with inputs from literature and experts, comprises
four sections: 1) basic participant characteristics, 2) patterns and prevalence of violence,
3) knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards violence, and 4) the need for support
services. A pilot study will validate and translate the questionnaire into the target
languages, ensuring content relevance and sensitivity to the target culture through forward
and backward translation processes. The reliability of the questionnaire will be assessed
using Cronbach's alpha.
Data collection involves preparatory steps such as developing a training manual for
interviewers, addressing potential issues, and advertising the survey. Central investigators
will monitor the data collection process, with data collected through self-administered
questionnaires. The use of REDCap software aims to manage surveys efficiently and prevent
multiple participations. A paper-based questionnaire could be used in some areas when
necessary.
