Summary
This trial will test whether the Pregnant Moms' Empowerment Program is effective in improving maternal mental health, re-victimization rates, parenting sensitivity, and infant development compared to an active control group.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking pregnant women, aged 16 or older, who are between 10-30 weeks into their pregnancy and have experienced intimate partner violence within the past year. Women must be willing to participate in all study components.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the Pregnant Moms' Empowerment Program (PMEP) against a nondirective support group to see if PMEP improves maternal mental health, reduces re-victimization, enhances parenting sensitivity, and benefits infant development.
What are the potential side effects?
There may not be direct physical side effects from participating in these programs; however, discussing sensitive topics like personal trauma could potentially lead to emotional discomfort or distress.
