Article Synopsis
- Women in Tanzania face high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV), prompting a trial to test prevention interventions aimed at men and communities in nine villages.
- The study involved 450 couples divided into three groups: Control (women in savings groups only), Intervention Group 1 (women in savings plus men in gender-focused peer groups), and Intervention Group 2 (women in savings, men in peer groups, plus community leader dialogues).
- Results showed high participant retention and engagement, with men in the intervention groups more likely to reject wife-beating and report not committing IPV, suggesting that more extensive trials could lead to effective IPV prevention strategies.
Intimate partner violence (IPV), including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic violence, has profound immediate and long-term effects on individuals and communities worldwide. To date, few studies have focused on couples' reporting of IPV. The aim of this article is to present the results of a survey of couples' reporting of IPV and the individual, interpersonal, and social correlates of IPV in northern Tanzania.
