An interventional study of Screening for intimate partner violence in Intimate Partner Violence Against Women, sponsored by McMaster University. Completed at 28 sites in Canada. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 64 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2009-09-09.
Sponsored by McMaster University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Screening
The purpose of the research is to evaluate whether routine screening for woman abuse in health care settings, as compared to no screening, does more good than harm. Recent reviews have identified the need for high quality research to understand 1) the actual impact on all women of instituting mass screening procedures to identify woman abuse and 2) the extent to which early identification through screening is effective in preventing or ameliorating important outcomes. The main outcomes for the study are reduction in violence, improvement in life quality, and potential harms of screening. A number of secondary outcomes to help understand the process by which screening and usual care might lead to changes in the primary outcomes will also be assessed.
McMaster University is the lead sponsor of 720 studies on the registry; 124 are open to participants now.
