The purpose of this study is to determine if a telephone social support and empowerment intervention is more effective than usual community services in improving the mental health of community-dwelling women abused by their intimate partners.
Depression is one of the most common mental health sequelae of intimate partner violence (IPV). Although a range of interventions have been tried to improve the mental health of women survivors of IPV, the results are inconclusive. In this trial, a 12-week advocacy intervention consisting of empowerment and telephone social support is provided to abused Chinese women in a community setting. Usual community services provide the control condition.
