NCT07226401
This project will study virtual delivery of Safe Dates for Young Parents (SDYP), a 10-session, group-based intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention program tailored for adolescents and young adults who are pregnant or parenting. This program has the potential to improve the health and well-being of young parents and their children, and virtual delivery may improve participants' ability to attend. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) Is it feasible and acceptable to implement SDYP in a virtual setting? (2) Are SDYP participants less likely to experience IPV than participants in an alternate health education program? Participants will be invited to a series of virtual program sessions for either SDYP or a health education program focused on physical activity and nutrition and will be asked to complete surveys before the programs begin and up to 6 months later.
NCT06576193
The goal of this trial is to learn how the Safe Dates for Young Parents (SDYP) intervention affects the sexual and reproductive health behaviors, and quality of, and attitudes surrounding intimate partner relationships in adolescents and young adults (AYA) assigned female sex at birth who are pregnant or parenting. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will the SDYP intervention have any effect on the sexual and reproductive health behaviors during the study period? * Will the SDYP intervention have any effect on the prevention or reduction of intimate partner violence (IPV)? * Will the SDYP intervention have any effect on the attitudes and beliefs about healthy relationships? Researchers will compare the behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs about sexual and reproductive health and relationships of participants assigned to the SDYP intervention group to participants assigned to the control (non-SDYP intervention) group to see if there is any difference or changes in those behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs before-and-after or without the SDYP intervention. Participants in the SDYP intervention will attend ten (10) 50-minute group sessions that will involve interactive discussions, thinking through life-like scenarios, games, role-plays, brainstorming, and a poster contest and theatrical play.
NCT06854770
The goal of this pilot study is to identify the core elements of outreach practice necessary to engage with women experiencing street-involvement who are underserved within health and social care settings. The primary research questions are: 1. How acceptable is the outreach intervention to women experiencing street-involvement? 2. What factors act as barriers or facilitators to acceptability? 3. How feasible is the outreach intervention to enhance women's access to health and social services? Participants will: * Meet regularly one-on-one with an outreach worker over an 18-month period * Co-develop (with the outreach worker) a plan, based on the individuals self-identified needs, for connecting with health and social services * Be invited to complete surveys at the start of their participation, and again every four months. These surveys ask questions about participants' resiliency, quality of life, independence, safety, and health status * Be invited to participate in a one-on-one interview with a researcher about their experiences in the study.
NCT05940129
Gender-based violence (GBV) (including homicide) is one of the leading causes of maternal and child (fetus, newborn or infant) mortality and morbidity in limited resource settings such as India. This study is evaluating the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of WC-SHE (Women and Children-Safety, Health and Empowerment) intervention developed to promote health and safety outcomes of mother and children in rural and/or tribal regions in India. The aim will be to refine, optimize and standardize the WC-SHE intervention and its added components, develop fidelity measures, conduct a feasibility and acceptability evaluation of the intervention and implementation procedures as well as examine preliminary efficacy outcomes of WC-SHE.
NCT05598697
Cash transfers have shown promise in preventing intimate partner violence, and in reducing recipients' stress levels. Cash transfers with behavioral or psychological interventions have shown limited effectiveness at reducing stress in some African countries. Little is known of the cost-effectiveness of interventions delivered alongside cash transfer programs. The MEWE economic evaluation sub-study (MEWE-EE) runs alongside MEWE, a three-arm cluster-randomized controlled trial in Sindh, Pakistan. MEWE-EE will assess the costs and cost-effectiveness of delivering a cash-transfer program (BISP-CT) combined with a life-skills building curriculum (LSB curriculum), compared to the BISP-CT alone. The LSB curriculum is offered to either women who receive BISP-CT, or to women who receive BISP-CT and their husbands.
NCT04716400
"Stop sexual harassment" is a school based intervention tailored to reduce sexual- and gendered harassment among pupils in secondary school. The first aim of this study is to test to what extent "Stop sexual harassment" reduces sexual harassment and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender expression (gendered harassment) among 8th to 10th grade pupils in secondary school. The second aim of the study is to test to what extent the intervention increases teachers' responses to sexual- and gendered harassment among pupils. The intervention consists of eight lessons which address the prevention of sexual- and gendered harassment. METHOD: A minimum 32 schools with at least 3840 pupils will participate in a cluster randomized controlled trial. Participating schools will be randomly assigned to intervention schools and control schools. At the intervention schools, teachers will be introduced to "Stop sexual harassment" through a digital course which will provide them with a manual containing eight lessons to be held for the pupils. At the control schools there will not be any intervention. The effects of the intervention on pupils will be determined by assessing their experiences with sexual and gendered harassment, and internalized and externalized problems prior to the intervention (T1), shortly after the intervention (T2) and six moths after the intervention (T3). The effects of the intervention on teachers will be determined by assessing the teachers' experiences of responding to sexual and gendered harassment among pupils. HYPOTHESIS: It is expected that the intervention "Stop sexual harassment" will lead to reduced sexual and gendered harassment perpetration and victimization, and less internalized and externalized problems among the pupils in secondary school, and that teachers will more frequently take action when sexual- and gendered harassment is encountered among the pupils.
NCT05331508
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.
