Project title *
Mobile-supported Linkages to Services for Domestic Violence Prevention and Response
Title acronym
Mobilise!
Description *
Mobilise!, therefore, aims to refine and develop mobile phone apps that will help standardize this service delivery, and then implement and evaluate whether the mobile phone-supported intervention results in improved identification, management and documentation of domestic violence in primary health care settings in Bangalore. Based on the type of medical visit, the app displays domestic violence-related prompts for health care workers to explore with patients. The initial questions are indirect to assess the risk of domestic violence; however, health care workers will be prompted to ask more direct questions if risks are identified.
