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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
smartphone-delivered behavioral intervention (WINGS-based EMI with safety planning, coping skills, and social support)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an accessible, scalable way to reduce intimate partner violence and climate-related stress for women in underserved communities.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with no prior results, and the intervention depends on smartphone access and engagement. It may not reduce violence or stress as hoped, and findings may not apply outside these settlements.
