The Impact of Faith-Based Couples’ Counseling on Intimate Partner Violence in Uganda

[link removed]

Researchers: Jeannie Annan, Christopher Boyer, Jasper Cooper, Lori Heise, and Elizabeth Levy Paluck

The IRC, World Vision, and IPA partnered with researchers to evaluate the impact of this faith leader-delivered program.
