Violence and Alcohol Treatment (VATU) trial: ZAMBIA - Zambia

Abstract
---------------------------

CETA is a scientifically-proven transdiagnostic intervention, combining treatments for a range of mental health issues (trauma, depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse) into a single model. CETA's modular, community-based approach addresses several mental health challenges in concert, enabling scale-up and sustainability in low-to middle-income environments.
Research Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to explore implementing CETA as a strategy to reduce and prevent violence against women. In the past, there have been few rigorous trials on interventions for IPV with clinical inclusion criteria. CETA trial was implemented across 3 sites in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. Two hundred and forty-eight (248) 'family units' participated: an adult woman, her adult male partner, and one identified youth (male or female, age 8-17). Families were eligible if 1) the adult female indicated moderate-to-severe amount of violence, 2) the adult male partner was identified as drinking alcohol at hazardous levels.

摘要
---------------------------
CETA是一种经过科学验证的跨诊断干预措施，将针对一系列心理健康问题（创伤、抑郁、焦虑、酒精滥用）的治疗方法整合为一个单一模型。CETA的模块化、基于社区的策略协同应对多种心理健康挑战，从而在低收入至中等收入环境中实现规模的扩大和可持续性。
研究方法：一项随机对照试验被实施以探索将CETA作为一种减少和预防针对女性暴力的策略。在以往，针对家庭暴力干预措施的临床纳入标准的严谨试验为数不多。CETA试验在赞比亚首都卢萨卡的三个地点进行。共有248个‘家庭单位’参与：一名成年女性、她的成年男性伴侣以及一名确定的青少年（男或女，年龄在8至17岁之间）。家庭若符合以下条件则具有资格：1）成年女性表示存在中等至严重的暴力行为；2）成年男性伴侣被确认为饮酒处于危险水平。关于研究方案的详细信息，请参阅《全球心理健康》（2017），4，e18。DOI：10.1017/gmh.2017.10
