What this trial studies

This project aims to adapt, implement, and evaluate a trauma and violence informed care (TVIC) intervention specifically for Black women in middle Tennessee. Over five years, the study will engage a stakeholder committee to tailor the intervention, implement it at the healthcare provider level, and evaluate its effectiveness in improving patient outcomes. The intervention includes trauma-informed screening, brief interventions, and referrals to treatment, with a focus on enhancing healthcare providers' self-efficacy and aligning their practices with trauma-informed care principles.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the healthcare experiences and outcomes for Black women who are survivors of intimate partner violence.

How similar studies have gone: While trauma-informed care approaches have been explored in various contexts, this specific adaptation for Black women experiencing intimate partner violence is novel and has not been extensively tested.
