OBJECTIVE: To investigate if, among women exposed to physical violence during pregnancy, does a targeted intervention consisting of safety planning and referral to community advocacy services decrease rates of adverse perinatal outcomes including antepartum hemorrhage or infection, low birthweight, and perinatal death. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Surrey Memorial Hospital and BC Women's Hospital in British Columbia, Canada PARTICIPANTS: Pregnant women experiencing intimate partner violence MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We are interested in perinatal outcomes such as birth weight and preterm labour. DATA ANALYSIS: Outcomes for women in each arm of the trial will be compared in an intention to treat analysis. Changes in risk for adverse outcomes associated with the study intervention will be estimated by the odds ratios calculated by the logistic regression model.
