NCT ID NCT06226818
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach—combining medical, psychological, social, and legal support in one place—can improve the mental and physical health of women who have experienced domestic or sexual violence. Researchers will compare outcomes for women receiving this integrated care versus those in traditional health centers. The main focus is on reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and improving overall well-being.
