STOP Consortium Meeting November 2021
We are now fifteen months into the STOP project and have managed to get to know each other but meeting in person should ease reflections and discussions. Thanks to the Spanish team for organizing it.
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.
Screening tools ready for use
The Spanish screening tool is an electronic application for tablets and the Danish screening is an electronic screening survey. Both screenings programs are developed to identify pregnant women exposed to IPV in antenatal care centres for recruitment into the video counselling project. The screening tool in both Spain and Denmark includes basic demographic data and validated questionnaires suitable for antenatal care settings (the AAS, ISA and/or the WAST-Short). In Spain the recording of provision of the women’s interest in participating in the screening and the counselling; her informed written consent for the screening according to the requirements from the Andalusian Ethical Committee; and follow-up data.
The two screenings programs have been developed in a collaboration between the two countries. In order to share knowledge and take each individual country and population into account, which also demonstrate the motive for the tools few differences.

Women survivors of intimate partner violence talk about using e-health during pregnancy: a focus group study
Pregnancy is a period of particular vulnerability to experience intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). eHealth strategies have been implemented to identify women exposed to IPVAW and to combat the abuse and empower them, but there is a lack of evidence on the use of these strategies among pregnant women. This work aims to identify the needs, concerns and preferences of survivors about the use of eHealth strategies to counsel and empower pregnant victims of IPVAW in antenatal care.
Ethical Approval
The ethical approval process at the Danish (RSD-OUH) and Spanish (UGR) sites is demonstrated by the project descriptions submitted along with applications to their respective Ethics Committees. The project descriptions provide information on the background of the project, its aims, methodology with sub-studies, needs assessment, the anticipated risks, access to patient information, informed consent, impact, funding, the ethics, safety, and security of the project, the members of the research team, and relevant references. Not all sections are described in both the RSD-OUH and the UGR applications.
At UGR ethical approval has been received for the screening solution while approval for the video counseling solution is still pending. At RSD-OUH the screening solution has been implemented throughout the region and thus no ethical approval is needed, and the ethics committee determined that approval was unnecessary for the video counseling intervention.
Application forms and decision letters from the committees are provided in the appendix (these are provided in the local languages).

Management & Communication
STOP Consortium Meeting December 2020
The second consortium meeting of the STOP project was a virtual meeting and took place on December 17 and 18, 2020. During the meeting, the progress of each work package was discussed. The project’s Advisory Board attended the meeting and provided feedback and suggestions to the consortium.
STOP Consortium Meeting September 2020 – Kick Off Meeting
During the STOP project’s Kick Off, the participants discussed and planned the work to be done in each work package. The practicalities of the different screening process and the screening tools and cutoff levels were debated. The timing of the training sessions for midwives was considered; both the Danish and the Spanish teams expressed concern that the original timing of the sessions was premature and that it would benefit the project to move the training closer to when the screening begins. The current flare-up of COVID-19 has further emphasized this need. Issues with inclusion and exclusion criteria were debated, and it was suggested that the involved midwives may have to play a larger role in determining whom to include. The features of the safety planning app were discussed in detail, and based on perceived applicability and usability, the participants agreed on which to include and which to scrap. As the STOP project could be an excellent opportunity to gain better insight into the prevalence of IPV, different studies to be part of the project were presented, along with a strategy for a multidisciplinary assessment the effects of STOP. The upcoming feasibility study and preparation of further studies on IPV was only briefly discussed, as this work is still some time away.
