ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how a special video intervention can help pregnant women who are experiencing domestic violence. The researchers have created a tool to identify women who may be facing violence during their pregnancy and will use this information to support them. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will watch a video that encourages them to take steps to ensure their safety and seek help, while the other group will watch a video about having a healthy pregnancy. The goal is to see if the intervention video is more effective in promoting safety actions among women than the control video.

To be eligible for this trial, women need to be between 12 to 20 weeks pregnant and must be able to participate mentally. Unfortunately, women who are either less than 12 weeks or more than 20 weeks pregnant cannot join. If you or someone you know meets these criteria, participating in this study could provide valuable support and resources for dealing with domestic violence during pregnancy. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and it's an important step toward improving care for women in these situations.
