The MAISHA study (component A) is a mixed methods evaluation, including a cluster randomised trial, of a small group based social empowerment intervention to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV) against women in Mwanza city, Tanzania. The trial was conducted among women already participating in a group-based microfinance scheme, with the microfinance group being the unit of randomisation and (in the intervention arm) the unit of intervention delivery. The CRT involved two surveys of trial participants, the first conducted prior to randomisation (baseline), and the second 29 months later (follow-up). The surveys collected data on demographics, childhood experiences of abuse, health, attitudes and norms relating to gender and IPV, relationships, IPV experiences and responses, children, and respondents' interactions with their communities. This dataset underlies the primary trial analysis of intervention impact.
The dataset comprises 1,049 records (each pertaining to an individual trial participant) and contains a subset of variables from the baseline and follow-up surveys. NB: Data pertaining to a second trial of the same MAISHA intervention conducted among women not receiving microfinance (MAISHA component B) are not included in this record.

Each row contains data provided by one woman via the baseline and/or follow-up surveys. There are 215 variables in total:
The column entitled ‘Respondents’ relates to the variable level rather than record level – for example, where ‘All follow-up’ is entered, the variable will only contain data in records where the woman completed the follow-up interview.
