Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intervention for IPV Perinatal Women- RCT (NCT NCT02370394)

NCT ID: NCT02370394

Last Updated: 2018-06-04

Results Overview

A widely used self-report of behaviors that includes a 36-item scale - only the CAS Victimization Total score was calculated. Items were scored between 0 and 5, with Never=0 and Daily=5. Scale range is from 0-180. Mean score was used to calculate differences between baseline and follow-up and between groups. The lower the score, the better or less victimization.

Measure
ROSE Program
Participants received a 50-minute intervention on the Tablet PC immediately after their baseline assessment and an in-person 30-minute booster session conducted by interventionists within a month after the intervention. There was also a follow-up assessment 3 months after completion of the ROSE program. ROSE Program: The ROSE Program was specifically tailored, innovative and relevant to diverse, racial and ethnic perinatal women in a number of ways including the images and content used in the intervention and coordinating study appointments with treatment visits. It was also tailored on the current IPV risk assessment, pregnancy or postpartum status of each participant, was designed to reach participants across levels of motivation for change. The content of ROSE was theory-driven, consistent with the Motivational Interviewing model of behavior, and consistent with the literature on effective interventions that address IPV.
Control Condition
Control Condition consisted of a series of questions regarding television show preferences and viewing a brief series of videos of popular entertainers/shows, with subsequent requests for ratings of subjective preference. Participants in this condition completed a baseline assessment as well as a follow-up assessment 3 months later.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Assessed at baseline, and again three months later

Population: The number of participants analyzed differs from baseline to follow-up because 2 dropped out of the ROSE intervention group, and 1 dropped out and 1 withdrew (no longer interested) from the control condition.

A widely used self-report of behaviors that includes a 36-item scale - only the CAS Victimization Total score was calculated. Items were scored between 0 and 5, with Never=0 and Daily=5. Scale range is from 0-180. Mean score was used to calculate differences between baseline and follow-up and between groups. The lower the score, the better or less victimization.

Population: The number of participants analyzed differs from baseline to follow-up because 2 dropped out of the ROSE intervention group, and 1 dropped out and 1 withdrew (no longer interested) from the control condition.

Includes 15 items that assess the use of strategies suggested to keep victim safe (e.g., hiding money and extra clothing). Items were scored as Yes=1 or No=0 or Not applicable. Scale range is from 0-15. Mean score was used to calculate differences between baseline and follow-up and between groups. The higher the score, the better or more use of safety behaviors.

Population: The number of participants analyzed differs from baseline to follow-up because 2 dropped out of the ROSE intervention group, and 1 dropped out and 1 withdrew (no longer interested) from the control condition.

A 1-item measure, was modified to assess how ready they are to use treatment, resources, and/or support for any partner abuse. This item was scored with a range from 0-10. 0=not ready at all to 10=completely ready. Mean score was used to calculate differences between baseline and follow-up and between groups. The higher the score, the better or more ready to use treatment, resources, or support for any partner abuse.
