About this trial
The proposed project addresses intimate partner violence (IPV) against pregnant women, which is a serious social and health issue. Pregnant women represent a particularly vulnerable population of IPV survivors in China, who have been largely underserved. There have been no interventions developed in China to prevent maternal IPV and its effects on maternal and infant health. The proposed project is the first structured IPV intervention integrated into prenatal care in China, which may have the potential to be translated into more prenatal clinics in China to prevent violence against pregnant women and improve maternal and infant health.
Eligibility criteria

Being in early pregnancy (less than 13 weeks gestation) and screened positive for IPV in the year before pregnancy or during the current pregnancy.
