Summary
This study tests a smartphone-delivered program for women in Kenyan informal settlements who face intimate partner violence and stress from extreme weather. Participants receive short, tailored sessions on safety planning, coping skills, and social support. The goal is to see if the program reduces violence and stress over 12 months, offering a scalable support option for similar communities.
