Evaluating a Digital Toolkit for IPV

May 14, 2026 updated by: Medical University of South Carolina

A Stepped-Wedge Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating a Digital Toolkit for IPV

The study evaluates a web-based digital toolkit designed to screen for intimate partner violence (IPV), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and related mental health concerns within opioid treatment programs. Providers use the toolkit during routine care with patients receiving treatment for opioid use disorder. The study examines how the toolkit is implemented into clinic workflows and whether its use improves detection, referral, and patient outcomes.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Not yet recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

Demographic, survey, and clinical data will be acquired. The raw interview, survey, and clinical data will be stored within a secure computing environment. All direct identifiers will be removed and maintained in a secure file. All other scientific data (coded interview data, scale composites, recodes) will be both preserved and shared via ICPSR. Documentation to be made available will include a study protocol, reference to study publication of primary outcomes, data sets, case report forms, a data dictionary, and study-specific notes. Variables in the data dictionary will include a description, variable name, variable label, and standard codes for missing values.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

The first batch of data will be deposited 6 months after enrollment of the first participants and data will be deposited every 6 months thereafter until study completion. The research community will have access to the full data set approximately 18 months following the end of the randomized clinical trial or after the primary paper has been accepted for publication, whichever happens first.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Data will be findable for the research community through ICPSR. For all publications, an ICPSR study will be created and assigned a digital object identifier (DOI). The DOI will be referenced in the publication to allow the research community to access the data used.
