“…A strong link has been established between interpersonal violence, tobacco use, illicit drug use, depression, and high-risk drinking among women (Flynn et al, 2003; Certain et al, 2007; Gilchrist et al, 1996; Little et al, 1990). Each of these behaviors is associated with significant health problems for women as well their children and families.…”

“…Rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) involving physical abuse within the past year prior to pregnancy are 5.3% and 3.6% during pregnancy (Chu et al 2010). For postpartum women, research has found that rates for physical and emotional abuse within the past year are 7.4% (Certain et al 2007). Although there is no conclusive evidence that perinatal women are at higher risk for IPV than non-perinatal women, IPV during the perinatal period presents unique challenges.…”

Intimate partner victimization (IPV) during the perinatal period is associated with adverse outcomes for the woman, her developing fetus, and any children in her care. Maternal mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety, are prevalent during the perinatal period particularly among women experiencing IPV. Screening and interventions for IPV targeting women seeking mental health treatment are lacking. In the current study, we examine the feasibility, acceptability, and the preliminary efficacy of a brief, motivational computer-based intervention, SURE (Strength for U in Relationship Empowerment), for perinatal women with IPV seeking mental health treatment. The study design was a two-group, randomized controlled trial with 53 currently pregnant or within 6-months postpartum women seeking mental health treatment at a large urban hospital-based behavioral health clinic for perinatal women. Findings support the acceptability and feasibility of the SURE across a number of domains including content, delivery, and retention. All participants (100%) found the information and resources in SURE to be helpful. Our preliminary results found the degree of IPV decreased significantly from baseline to the 4-month follow-up for the SURE condition (paired t-test, p < 0.001), while the control group was essentially unchanged. Moreover, there was a significant reduction in emotional abuse for SURE participants (p = 0.023) relative to participants in the control condition. There were also reductions in physical abuse although non-significant (p = 0.060). Future work will test SURE in a larger, more diverse sample. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02370394.
