IROND-L: study protocol for a French prospective, quasi-experimental, multicentre trial to examine the impact of a coordinated multidisciplinary approach for women victims of violence.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Violence against women (VAW) is widespread and can have serious physical and mental health consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sleep disorders. Victim-survivors often face barriers in accessing specialised care, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary response, especially in healthcare settings. The Maison des Femmes (MdF) model provides holistic support to women experiencing VAW, including medical, psychological, social and legal support. The aim of this study is to examine whether the MdF's comprehensive intervention programme offers advantages over standard care in improving mental health indicators, such as PTSD.

Method and analysis

Our pragmatic quasi-experimental study uses a non-randomised controlled cluste
