The SASA Study: A community mobilisation intervention to prevent violence against women and reduce HIV risk in Kampala, Uganda
Gender based violence, including violence by an intimate partner, is a major global human rights and public health problem, with important connections with HIV risk. While unequal gender norms and relations are recognised to underpin risk of both violence and HIV, there is limited evidence surrounding the potential of community interventions to tackle these norms and reduce violence and HIV risk at the community level. The SASA! study is a mixed methods evaluation of a community mobilisation intervention to prevent violence against women and reduce HIV-risk in Kampala, Uganda. These datasets come from the cluster randomised trial component, and contain the results of two cross sectional surveys of community members, one conducted prior to intervention implementation and one approximately 4 years later.

Description of data capture | A pair-matched cluster randomised controlled trial was conducted in eight communities in Kampala (four intervention and four control). The eight communities, each comprising one or two administrative parishes, were purposively selected to ensure that all sites would be suitable for delivery of the intervention and were separated from each other by a geographical buffer (at least one parish wide) to reduce the potential for intervention diffusion into control sites. Sites were matched into four pairs on the basis of population density and mobility. One from each pair was then randomly selected to be an intervention community and the other designated as a control. Cross-sectional surveys of community members (aged 18-49 years) in both intervention and control communities were conducted before intervention implementation (baseline) and approximately four years later (follow-up). Multistage stratified random sampling was used to sample community members, with census enumeration areas used as the primary sampling unit. For reasons of respondent safety, male and female samples were drawn from different enumeration areas. The sampling strategy is described in more detail in the protocol. |
