This effectiveness-implementation hybrid-3 study evaluates dissemination, implementation, and effectiveness of myPlanKenya. myPlanKenya will be disseminated through formal and informal sectors. This clinical trial portion of the study enrolls women at risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) who are referred to myPlanKenya by disseminators (i.e. "end-users").
This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of myPlanKenya referral on resilience, health and safety among a cohort of women referred to myPlanKenya based on disclosure of IPV or assessed to have IPV related risks.

Exclusion Criteria:
myPlan Kenya web-based application
Behavioral: Personalized safety planning tool
The myPlan Kenya app is a web-based safety planning tool that is secure, private, free and personalized to the user. The app includes multiple, evidence-based modules: Strategies (safety strategies tailored to the user's needs and violence experience); Resources (referrals to local health, safety and justice resources and services); About You (questionnaires that help the user assess their relationship safety and tailor their Strategies, including My Relationship, Red Flags, My Safety, My Priorities); Understanding (knowledge sections that share information on relationships and violence, including Healthy Relationships, Harmful Beliefs About Abuse, About Violence).
Resilience as Assessed by Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale
10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale assesses resilience using a 5-point Likert scale (0-4). Scored from 0-40, with higher scores indicating greater resilience and lower scores indicating lower resilience.
Time frame: Baseline, 6-month, 12-month
Decisional Conflict Score
12-item decisional conflict measures (specific to safety), assessed using a 5-point Likert scale (0-4). The mean Decisional Conflict score is multiplied by 25 to create an overall score, ranging from 0-100; 0 (no decisional conflict) to 100 (extremely high decisional conflict).
Time frame: Baseline, 6-month, 12-month
Safety/IPV Experience(s) as Assessed by the Conflict Tactics Scale-2
10-item adapted Conflict Tactics Scale-2 (CTS2), which assesses IPV experiences using a 3-point scale on the frequency of these experiences. Score range 0-20; higher score indicates more IPV.
Time frame: Baseline, 6-month, 12-month
Percentage of Participants Who Sought Services (Help-seeking)
6-item index on help-seeking, which assesses abuse disclosure and services/information received on a 2-point scale (yes/no); operationally defined as percentage of participants who sought help from any of the services.
Time frame: Baseline, 6-month, 12-month
Helpfulness of Services Assessed by Help-Seeking Index
6-item index on help-seeking which assesses abuse disclosure and services/information. Helpfulness of services rated on a 5-point Likert scale (Score range 0-4; with higher score more helpful). Mean helpfulness score of services sought is reported.
Time frame: Baseline, 6-month, 12-month
Safety Strategy Score
5-item index on safety strategies used (yes/no), summed for a range of 0-5 with higher scores indicating more safety strategies used. For each strategy used, helpfulness is assessed on a 5-point Likert scale (1-5), with higher scores indicating more helpfulness; mean scores are presented (range 1-5).
Time frame: Baseline, 6-month, 12-month
IPV Recognition as Assessed by the Abusive Behaviors Scale
7-item adapted Abusive Behaviors Scale, which assesses IPV recognition using a 5-point Likert scale (0-4). Items are scored from 0-28, with higher scores indicating greater IPV recognition and lower scores indicating lower IPV recognition.
Time frame: Baseline, 6-month, 12-month
This single arm implementation trial enrolled 440 women referred to the myPlanKenya safety decision aid. Individuals were eligible for 12-month follow-up irrespective of 6-month completion.
