Focus Group Interviews
This document contains the findings from the Spanish and Danish focus group interviews with the NGO’s and the women exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). The purpose of the focus group interviews was to gather information and input from relevant stakeholders (NGO’s) in both Spain and Denmark in order to develop the STOP intervention covering both the Video Counselling and Safety Planning app. The findings have been very important in the development of the STOP-intervention.
The focus group interview with the Spanish NGO’s was completed on September 30, 2020 with six participants. The focus group interview with the Spanish women exposed to IPV was completed on October 6, 2020, with five participants. The focus group interview with the Danish NGO’s was completed on September 8, 2020, with three participants. This was followed by three additional interviews with NGO’s on the October 2, 2020, October 5, 2020 and November 2, 2020. The interview with the Danish woman exposed to IPV was completed on November 24, 2020.
Training of Counsellors
This document provides a report on the training of counsellors including the Danish midwives and Spanish psychologist. The purpose of the training was to both prepare the counsellors for the STOP-intervention and to train them in conducting video counselling with pregnant women exposed to IPV.
The training of the 10 Danish midwives included:
Three days of training between January 11-13, 2021,
Two hands-on training sessions at end of February and in the beginning of March, 2021,
Follow up sessions (planned for when the intervention has been launched).
The training of the Spanish psychologist has included:
Two days of training between January 21-22, 2021,
Hands-on training sessions in February 2021,
Follow up sessions (planned for when the intervention has been launched).
Due to the Covid-19 related restrictions, all training has been conducted virtually, except for the two hands-on training sessions with the Danish midwives in February/March.
Development of Training Manual for Conducting Video Counselling
The purpose of this document is to give a report on the manual developed to conduct video counselling in the STOP-project.
The manual is developed to support the counsellors and it provides information including workflow, basic guidance and methods related to the different sessions in the intervention.
There are minor differences between the interventions in Spain and Denmark. Therefore, there has been developed two manuals: one for the Danish midwives and one for the Spanish psychologist in order to align the manual to the context where it is used. Both manuals include guidelines and information for the situations where the counsellor is in contact with the women exposed to IPV: pre-session, video counselling and postintervention evaluation.
Consortium Meeting in beautiful Granada
On November 25-26, the STOP consortium reached quite a milestone. Not so much a milestone related to the project activities but a milestone for the collaboration.
After working together for more than a year, we finally managed to meet each other in person for the first physical consortium meeting in the project lifetime. The consortium met in beautiful Granada for a two-day meeting and Granada was the perfect location as the city celebrated the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25th.
This consortium meeting focused on the current status of the project and we also started planning for 2022 which will be a(nother) busy year in the STOP project. During 2022, we will offer our services to thousands of women across the Region of Southern Denmark and Andalucia. We will also finalise the data collection and start working on the publication of our results and experiences from the project.
We look forward to sharing it!

E-health psychological intervention in pregnant women exposed to intimate partner violence (eIPV): A protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial
Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy, a condition as common as obstetrics conditions like gestational diabetes, is associated with maternal and neonatal complications. Systematic detection of IPV is not well established in antenatal screening probably because the effectiveness of protective interventions has not been evaluated. E-health interventions may be beneficial among mothers exposed to IPV. Prior to performing a full-scale effectiveness trial for such an intervention, a pilot study is required to assess the feasibility of randomising a sufficiently large number of women exposed to IPV during pregnancy. The eIPV trial is a randomised pilot study nested within a cohort of consenting mothers who screen positive for IPV in the first antenatal visit at <12 weeks’ gestation and accept an e-health package (psychological counselling by videoconference) in Spain and Denmark.

Management & Communication
STOP Consortium Meeting June 2021
The third consortium meeting in the STOP project was decided in December as an unofficial, additional consortium meeting. The spring and summer of 2021 is a key period in the project and with our next consortium meeting scheduled for late November, the project group wanted this opportunity to check in on the progress of STOP and help keep momentum.
STOP Communication Platforms
As part of the STOP, a report has been prepared to map and present the communication platforms for the project.
