NCT ID NCT06350383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a combined program (WINGS+PM+) for women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental distress in Kenyan informal settlements. 260 women were randomly assigned to either the combined program or a shorter psychological support alone. The goal was to see if the program is safe, acceptable, and feasible to deliver by local health workers, and to gather data for a future larger trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
WINGS+PM+ (behavioral intervention combining safety, harm reduction, and brief psychological support)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a low-cost, scalable intervention to reduce intimate partner violence and improve mental health for women in underserved communities.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, not a large efficacy trial. Results may not generalize to other settings, and the intervention may not show significant benefits over the control.
