In: Global Health Action, 2014, Advance online publication, 12 September 2014 (10 pages) Open accessSummary: Intimate partner violence (IPV) violates women’s human rights and is a serious public health concern. Historically strategies to prevent IPV have focussed on individuals and their relationships without addressing the context under which IPV occurs. Primary prevention of IPV is a relatively new focus of international efforts and what SASA!, a phased community mobilisation intervention, seeks to achieve.
Methods: Conducted in Kampala, Uganda, between 2007 and 2012, the SASA! Study is a cluster randomised
controlled trial to assess the community-level impact of SASA! This nested qualitative study explores pathways of individual- and community-level change as a result of SASA!
