TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title MyPlan4SexualSafety: synergising eHealth and behavioral science to promote safety for women
Official scientific title MyPlan4SexualSafety: synergizing eHealth & behavioral science to promote safety for women
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial This is a two-phased research study designed to better understand and address sexual safety and safety planning surrounding sexual coercion and intimate partner violence (IPV). During Phase 1, we conducted formative research to inform content and piloted a preliminary mHealth ¿app¿ intervention. We are now in Phase 2; implementing an mHealth ¿app¿ intervention (myPlanKenya) to reduce women¿s experiences of IPV and sexual coercion, and increase safety behaviors. The intervention, delivered via app, provides assessment, safety planning, and support, and helps women address decisional conflict. Phase 2 will consist of a RCT, where individuals will be randomized to receive the myPlanKenya app or standard of care, and undergo short baseline, exit interview, and follow-up surveys. Data collected will be used to describe patterns of sexual and reproductive coercion, IPV, safety planning strategies, decisional conflict, and related physical, sexual and mental health outcomes, and evaluate the efficacy of the myPlanKenya app to reduce sexual and reproductive coercion, IPV, and decisional conflict, and enhance safety behavior and health at follow-up relative to control condition. The study aim is to: Implement the myPlanKenya app and evaluate its efficacy relative to a control condition on outcomes assessed at 3-month follow-up

STUDY DESIGN
Intervention assignment Allocation to intervention If randomised, describe how the allocation sequence was generated Describe how the allocation sequence/code was concealed from the person allocating the participants to the intervention arms Masking If masking / blinding was used
Factorial: participants randomly allocated to either no, one, some or all interventions simultaneously Randomised Randomization occurs within the app and will be stratified by violence experience and study site (1:1 allocation) Allocation is determined within the app, therefore all women will be blind to their intervention status and all study staff, besides those who are working through the app with the women will also be blind to intervention status. Masking/blinding used Outcome Assessors,Participants
INTERVENTIONS
Intervention type Intervention name Dose Duration Intervention description Group size Nature of control
Experimental Group myPlanKenya One visit with the participant's having the option to return to the study center to review their safety plan and referral list 30 minutes The intervention, delivered via app, provides assessment, safety planning, and support, and helps women address decisional conflict. 225
Control Group Control One visit with the participant's having the option to return to the study center to review the control content 10-20 minutes Comparable to the standard of care, the control condition is consists of a minimal standard set of safety strategies with an emphasis on referral resources. The content is delivered in the form of an app for comparability with the intervention 225 Active-Treatment of Control Group
