Yoga for Black and Brown Women Who Have Experienced Abuse From an Intimate Partner

This study is looking at whether a special yoga program, called Culturally-Tailored, Trauma-Informed Yoga (CT-TIY), can improve the overall well-being of Black and Brown women who have experienced abuse from an intimate partner (Intimate Partner Violence or IPV). You might be able to join if you are a woman of color, at least 18 years old, and have experienced IPV. The study will compare the CT-TIY program to Enhanced Care as Usual (ECU), which includes referrals to local domestic violence providers and a safety card. Researchers want to see if the yoga program helps with psychological well-being, which will be measured at the start, after 16 weeks, and again at 27 weeks.

Study design
This study is an interventional trial that will randomly assign 40 women to either the yoga program or enhanced care. The person who assesses your well-being will not know which group you are in.
What's involved
If you join, you will be offered 15 weekly yoga classes, each lasting 75 minutes. You will also complete assessments at the beginning, after 16 weeks, and after 27 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your psychological well-being will be measured at baseline, 16 weeks, and 27 weeks.
