简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to create and rigorously evaluate a violence intervention and prevention corps (VIP Corps) training using a randomized controlled trial among undergraduate and professional students; and to develop a novel maternal injury surveillance system (MISS) to complement an existing maternal violent death registry in Kentucky.
详细描述
The participant population defined in this study are undergraduate and professional students within their last educational year in a helping professionals program at the University of Kentucky, ages 18-30. This study will permit the creation of effective programming to train the next generation of health and social service professionals prepared to help reduce Kentucky's maternal mortality and injury rates over time with implementation.
Aim 1:
- Create and rigorously evaluating Violence Intervention and Prevention Corps (VIP Corps) training using a randomized controlled trial among undergraduate and professional students.
- Develop a novel maternal injury surveillance system (MISS) as a complement to an existing maternal violent deaths registry to accurately and reliably enumerate maternal injuries and deaths due to violence.
Aim 2:
- Determine the effectiveness of complementary intervention and prevention strategies to increase interpersonal violence, substance use/disorder (IPV, SU/D), depression or anxiety screening.
- Reduce symptoms among those who screen positive, and ultimately reduce maternal injuries and deaths due to violence.
- Prospectively evaluate the effectiveness of a novel VIP training as the intervention condition relative to an attention control (SU/D and IPV awareness), to increase knowledge of the effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on health outcomes, report intimate partner violence (IPV) screening behaviors, intimate partner violence (IPV) detection, and to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) frequency among patients and clients over time.

研究组 & 干预措施
Maternal Injury and Death Intervention
Our research team created a VIP Corps online, interactive learning management system (LMS) training. This VIP Corps online training will be offered to students enrolled in a helping profession. Students are randomized to this experimental intervention arm. This training seeks to provide helping professionals with information and resources to identify, intervene, and prevent maternal injuries from interpersonal violence, substance use/disorder (IPV and SU/D). This training will provide students with the knowledge, skills, and efficacy to intervene and build capacity for prevention of maternal injuries and death due to violence.

结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge and attitudes toward substance use among pregnant and postpartum people.
时间窗: Year 2 - Year 4
Change in knowledge of substance use and attitudes toward those using substances or having a substance use disorder by condition over time. Attitudes toward pregnant or postpartum people experiencing: a) intimate partner violence (IPV), substance use, and anxiety or depression. This measure is based on the Domestic Violence Myth Acceptance and expanded to substance use and anxiety or depression. 45 items and 3 subscales. Response options: 1-5 indicating ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Lower scores are desired indicating greater acceptance and increased willingness to address intimate partner violence (IPV), substance use, and anxiety or depression among pregnant or postpartum people.
Knowledge and attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV) among pregnant and postpartum people.
时间窗: Year 2 - Year 4
Change in knowledge of intimate partner violence (IPV) and attitudes toward those experiencing IPV by condition over time. Knowledge of pregnancy-associated causes of maternal mortality and morbidity created for this randomized controlled trial (RCT). This is a 17-item scale ranging from 0-35 with higher scores indicating greater (accurate) knowledge.
Knowledge and attitudes toward anxiety or depression among pregnant or postpartum people.
时间窗: Year 2 - Year 4
Change in knowledge of anxiety or depression and attitudes toward those with anxiety or depression by condition over time. The Violence Against Women Health Care Provider Survey expanded to providers' willingness to ask clients about: a) Intimate partner violence (IPV), b) substance use, and c) anxiety or depression. 41 items querying self-confidence and actions in asking clients about risk factors for maternal morbidity. The response options 1-5 indicate strongly agree to strongly disagree. Higher scores are desired as indicators of greater self confidence and likelihood of actions with clients.
次要结局
- Participants' (care provider) self-report of asking pregnant or postpartum people about intimate partner violence (IPV), substance use, and anxiety or depression.(Year 3 - Year 5)
