Trial Outcomes & Findings for It's WeWomen Plus Intervention for Health, Safety and Empowerment (NCT NCT04098276)

NCT ID: NCT04098276

Last Updated: 2025-06-26

Results Overview

The adapted version of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2; Straus, 1996) was used to measure the severity and frequency of abusive or violent acts in intimate partner relationships. The CTS2 subscales included physical aggression, injury, psychological aggression, and sexual coercion. Response categories ranged from 0=never to 4=very frequently. Total scores ranged from 0-164, with higher scores indicating greater frequency and severity of intimate partner violence experiences. Items were scored using the severity-times-frequency weighted score method as recommended by Straus (1996). Change scores were calculated as the differences between baseline CTS-2 total scores and follow-up scores at each time point (3, 6, and 12 months).

Personalized Online Intervention
For first stage randomization, women in the personalized online intervention group receive the online safety planning intervention informed by culturally specific danger assessment (DA) tool. WeWomen Plus technology-based intervention: The WeWomen Plus intervention is a technology-based (online, text, and phone) intervention designed to reduce the risk of future intimate partner violence or homicide, improve mental health, and increase the empowerment of abused women.
Online Usual Care or Standard Online Safety Information
Women in the Standard Online Safety Information condition received the non-DA informed usual safety planning resources modeled on national and state domestic violence online resources but not provided with immediate and visual feedback to their level of danger or a tailored safety planning.
WeWomen Plus Text Messaging Only
For second stage randomization, the text messaging intervention followed-up with non-responder group of immigrant women (those who did not improve in intervention or control arms above) on their enactment of tailored (tailored to the DA Score and priorities) safety plan provided in the personalized online intervention or non-tailored (standard list of resources) safety recommendations provided in the usual care or standard online safety information arm. WeWomen Plus technology-based intervention: The WeWomen Plus intervention is a technology-based (online, text, and phone) intervention designed to reduce the risk of future intimate partner violence or homicide, improve mental health, and increase empowerment of abused women.
WeWomen Plus Text Messaging and Phone
Second-stage randomization involved both text and phone calls for non-responder groups of women in personalized online or standard online safety information arm. The phone calls will draw from motivational interviewing adapted for abused women, solution-focused therapy, and a strengths perspective to discuss women's safety concerns and other needs and strategies to strengthen social support networks WeWomen Plus technology-based intervention: The WeWomen Plus intervention is a technology-based (online, text, and phone) intervention designed to reduce the risk of future intimate partner violence or homicide, improve mental health, and increase empowerment of abused women.

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to assess depression symptoms over the past two weeks based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. Each of the 9 items was scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). Total scores were computed by summing all items, ranging from 0-27. Higher scores indicated more severe depression symptoms (1-4=minimal, 5-9=mild, 10-14=moderate, 15-19=moderately severe, 20-27=severe depression). Change scores were calculated as the differences between baseline PHQ-9 total scores and follow-up scores at each time point (3, 6, and 12 months).

Past week PTSD symptoms were measured using the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire, a 16-item scale with response options that ranged from 1 (not at all) to 5 (extremely). Mean scores across all 16 items were calculated for each participant. Higher scores indicated more severe PTSD symptoms, with scores greater than 2.5 indicating clinically significant PTSD symptoms. Change scores were calculated as the differences between baseline mean scores and the follow-up mean scores at each time point (3, 6, and 12 months).

The Personal Progress Scale-Revised was used to measure empowerment across multiple domains including positive self-evaluation, self-esteem, emotional regulation, gender-role and cultural identity awareness, self-efficacy, self-care, problem-solving, and assertiveness skills. Participants rated 28 items on a 7-point scale from 1 (almost never) to 7 (almost always). Total scores were calculated by summing all items, ranging from 28-196, with higher scores indicating greater empowerment. Change scores were calculated as the differences between baseline total scores and follow-up scores at each time point (3, 6, and 12 months).

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

The MOVERS scale was used to measure empowerment within the safety domain, including safety-related goal development, self-efficacy beliefs, and knowledge of support resources. Participants rated 13 items on a 5-point scale from 1 (never true) to 5 (always true). Mean scores across all 13 items were calculated for each participant. Higher scores indicated greater safety-related empowerment. Change scores were calculated as the differences between baseline mean scores and follow-up mean scores at each time point (3, 6, and 12 months).
