N2  - Intimate partner violence is a serious global problem that damages the health and prosperity of individuals, their
families, community, and society. WHO endorses an ‘ecological model,’ which states that there are multi-level
intersecting factors enabling perpetration and victimization of violence. Intervention science to prevent or reduce
the problem is in its infancy, and the few existing intervention studies have been targeted at the individual level. In
a recent study published in BMC Medicine, Abramsky et al. bring innovation to the field, targeting their intervention
trial “SASA!” in Kampala Uganda at all ecological levels, but particularly at the community level. (from the abstract). This is a commentary on the findings from the SASA! study (see #4752). Record #4753
