This study evaluated interventions for pregnant women experiencing physical abuse. While all interventions reduced abuse severity, lay outreach showed initial promise, suggesting screening may be key for prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Preventing abuse against women is a national priority.
  • Research has historically focused on identifying abuse rather than evaluating intervention effectiveness.
  • Effective interventions for pregnant women experiencing physical abuse are crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the differential effectiveness of three intervention levels: Brief, Counseling, and Outreach.
  • To assess the impact of these interventions on physical abuse severity and community resource utilization.
  • To determine the long-term effectiveness of interventions for abused pregnant women.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal study involving 329 pregnant, physically abused Hispanic women.
  • Interventions included Brief, Counseling, and Outreach programs.

  • Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze data collected at 2-, 6-, 12-, and 18-month follow-ups.

    • Main Results:

    • All intervention groups showed a significant decrease in abuse severity over time (p < 0.001).
    • The Outreach group had significantly lower violence scores at 2-months postdelivery compared to the Counseling-only group (p < 0.05).
    • No statistically significant differences in abuse severity were found among groups at 6, 12, and 18-month follow-ups.

    Conclusions:

    • Lay outreach interventions show potential for abused pregnant women and warrant further investigation.
    • Abuse screening alone may be the most effective intervention strategy for preventing abuse in this population.
    • Continued research is needed to optimize interventions for pregnant women experiencing physical abuse.
