First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a 9-session program called MILAP for young married women (ages 15-24) in Nepal who have experienced intimate partner violence. The program involves the woman, her husband, and her mother-in-law, aiming to reduce depression, violence, and PTSD. 900 participants will be randomly assigned to MILAP or standard care and followed for one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Multi-component family intervention (MILAP) including sessions on gender norms, behavioral activation, and family communication
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, culturally-tailored approach to reduce depression and intimate partner violence in young married women living in extended families in Nepal.
What could go wrong
This is a single randomized trial in one region of Nepal, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention is behavioral and relies on family participation, which may be difficult to sustain or scale.
