Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All clients attending ANC in JUTH within the study period who are at least 18 years of age, with gestational ages 24 weeks or less, calculated from last menstrual period or earliest obstetric Ultrasound scan done, and have given consent to participate in the study.
All pregnant women are included because they are all considered to be at risk of IPV since pregnancy, by itself, is a risk factor for IPV.

Exclusion criteria: 1. ANC attendees who are acutely ill as their need for care will be prioritized and they may not be able to respond to the questions.
2. ANC attendees whose partners have insisted on being present at the interview as that may cause them to withhold or falsify information.
3. ANC attendees who plan to relocate within the 12 week study period as follow up may become difficult when they do so.
4. ANC attendees who do not have intimate partners as that precludes them from suffering from IPV; for example, attendees who do not have intimate partners but got pregnant from rape by a stranger or other persons with whom she is not intimate.
