ABUSE
We explored how women differed on their enrollment HEART scale scores based on their counselor's module recommendation. Mean and Standard Deviation of HEART Scale Scores in the CHARISMA PrEP Adherence Counseling Intervention, by HEART Recommendation at Enrollment With Pair-Wise ComparisonsAbbreviations: CHARISMA, Community Health clinic model for Agency in Relationships and Safer Microbicide Adherence; HEART, Healthy Relationship Assessment Tool; IPV, intimate partner violence; PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis.Statistically significant at the 0.05 level.Statistically significant at the 0.01 level.Statistically significant at the 0.10 level.The most significant differences in scale scores were in the Partner Support, Partner Abuse and Control, and Partner Resistance scales when comparing those who were recommended the IPV module to those who were recommended 1 of the other 2 modules, either the partner communication module or the PrEP disclosure module. As expected, women who were recommended to receive the responding to IPV module scored lower in Partner Support and higher in Partner Abuse and Control and in Partner Resistance scales.All 3 groups scored low and not statistically different in the Traditional Values scale and scored high with statistically significant differences in the HIV Prevention Readiness scale. For the latter, participants who were recommended the partner communication module scored the highest (mean 5.53; standard deviation [SD] 0.70), followed by those who were recommended the PrEP disclosure module (mean 5.17; SD 1.00), and then by those who were recommended the responding to IPV module (mean 4.69; SD 0.97).
