The SASA Study: A community mobilisation intervention to prevent violence against women and reduce HIV risk in Kampala, Uganda

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.
