Announcing the start of ADVANCE 2: A research project to reduce the harms of domestic violence during pregnancy in Nepal
In pregnancy, the experience of domestic violence can have serious adverse maternal and neonatal health effects, and epigenetic studies indicate long-lasting consequences on children as they grow into adulthood. Antenatal care is a window of opportunity to reduce these harmful health consequences as most women use these health services in their lifetimes.
