Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a trial registration for a hybrid type 2 pilot study examining a behavioural intervention (EA$E-US) to prevent intimate partner violence and reduce mental health symptoms among forcibly displaced Congolese couples in the United States. No results are yet reported in this registry record; the study is planned to measure anxiety, depression, PTSD, and various forms of IPV at baseline, 8 weeks, and 5 months.
Interventional, Randomized, Parallel, Open label, Prevention purpose. PTSD Symptoms, Violence Prevention, Depression and Anxiety Symptoms; age from 18 Years; accepts healthy volunteers. Intervention: Standard of care (ongoing economic programming); EA$E-US. Compared with: OTHER: ongoing standard of care. n = 107. United States.

Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
No clinical impact can be assessed from this registry record, as results are not yet reported. Once the study concludes, preliminary findings will inform whether the EA$E-US intervention merits larger-scale evaluation for violence prevention and mental health support in this vulnerable population.
This is a registered pilot study (hybrid type 2 design) not yet recruiting, with no results posted; it aims to explore preliminary effects of a behavioural intervention adapted for a new population.

What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07775677). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: George Mason University. Recruitment status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 107 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: PTSD Symptoms, Violence Prevention, Depression and Anxiety Symptoms. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: EA$E-US; OTHER: ongoing standard of care. Primary outcome measures: Change in past month anxiety symptoms assessed by GAD-7 at 5 months , Baseline (T1), T2 (immediately after intervention: 8 weeks from baseline), and T3 (5 months after baseline); Change in depressive symptoms assessed by PHQ-9 at 5 months , Baseline (T1), T2 (immediately after intervention: 8 weeks from baseline), and T3 (5 months after baseline); Change in past month PTSD Symptoms assessed by PTSD checklist at 5 months , Baseline (T1), T2 (immediately after intervention: 8 weeks from baseline), and T3 (5 months after baseline); Change in Past month experiences of physical intimate partner violence assessed by WHO Physical violence subscale at 5 months. , Baseline (T1), T2 (immediately after intervention: 8 weeks from baseline), and T3 (5 months after baseline); Change in past month experiences of emotional intimate partner violence assessed by WHO's emotional violence subscale at 5 months. , Baseline (T1), T2 (immediately after intervention: 8 weeks from baseline), and T3 (5 months after baseline); Change in past month experiences of Economic intimate partner violence assessed by an economic subscale initially created for the original EA$E RCT in Côte d'Ivoire at 5 months. , Baseline (T1), T2 (immediately after intervention: 8 weeks from baseline), and T3 (5 months after baseline); Change in past month economic coercion assessed by ECS-20 at 5 months. , Baseline (T1), T2 (immediately after intervention: 8 weeks from baseline), and T3 (5 months after baseline); Change in past month experiences of controlling behaviors assessed by DHS controlling behaviors subscale in 5 months. , Baseline (T1), T2 (immediately after intervention: 8 weeks from baseline), and T3 (5 months after baseline). Brief summary: Forcibly displaced women and their male partners experience compounding social and structural vulnerabilities to intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health challenges, yet rigorous studies or examples of evidence-based interventions that seek to prevent and reduce IPV and mental health problems among forcibly displaced populations (FDPs) who seek asylum and rebuild their lives in the United States (US) are scarce. Guided by the the Assessment, Decision, Adaptation, Production, Topical experts-integration, Training, and Testing (ADAPT-ITT) framework, Cascade Implementation Framework, and NIMH experimental therapeutics approach, we propose to address this gap in research and practice by (1) adapting the Economic and Social Empowerment (EA$E) curriculum for US-based FD Congolese couples, (2) using a hybrid type 2 pilot study design to explore preliminary effects of EA$E-US on IPV, mental health outcomes and intermediary outcomes, and (3) examining implementation processes and outcomes
