About this trial
This is a cluster randomized trial for newly married dyads, that seeks to quantify the impact of GBE's (Ghya Bharaari Ekatra's) intervention on intimate partner violence (IPV) and downstream outcomes, mental health and reproductive autonomy, examine its mechanism of action, contexts in which it may need modification, and factors associated with its future successful adoption and implementation.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
couples wherein both members are age ≥18 years,
married ≤ 1 year, in their first marriage, married to only one individual, cohabiting in a slum in Mumbai or Pune India, and
fluent in Marathi and/or Hindi
Both members of the couple must meet eligibility criteria and be present at the session for the couple to participate.
Disqualifiers
As GBE was designed for primary IPV prevention, couples in which the female member screens positive for physical and/or sexual IPV (using the modified Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS-2)) at baseline will be excluded (and referred to support services)
those in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy (as women traditionally return to their natal home during this perinatal period).
