Summary

This study looks at how coercive control—a pattern of domination and manipulation in intimate relationships—affects victims' physical and mental health. Researchers will survey 250 women who have experienced intimate partner violence, asking about their exposure to coercive control and symptoms like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The goal is to better understand these links so that healthcare providers can identify at-risk victims and offer appropriate care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help doctors and social workers better identify victims of coercive control and provide more targeted support.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly change health outcomes. Results may not apply to all populations or settings.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

May 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

May 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
