This study assessed the impact of the Bandebereho gender-transformative couples’ intervention on impact on multiple behavioral and health-related outcomes influenced by gender norms and power relations. We conducted a multi-site randomised controlled trial in four Rwandan districts with expectant/current fathers and their partners, who were randomised to the intervention (n = 575 couples) or control group (n = 624 couples). Primary outcomes include women’s experience of physical and sexual IPV, women’s attendance and men’s accompaniment at ANC, modern contraceptive use, and partner support during pregnancy. At 21-months post-baseline, 1123 men and 1162 partners were included in intention to treat analysis. Generalized estimating equations with robust standard errors were used to fit the models. 2018-10-16T14:39:21Z 2018-10-16T14:39:21Z 2018-04-04 Journal Article PLoS ONE http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30566 CC BY 4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 World Bank PLoS Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research Africa Rwanda
