  • *OR (95% CI), p value for all the outcomes.

  • †Among those who reported experience of IPV in the last 6 months and n in summary statistics for control=29 and intervention=31. The basic model for all the outcomes is just adjusted for clusters and strata without any other adjustments for baseline. Individual-level adjusted models controlled for village population strata, age, IP caste, age difference between FSW and IP, frequency of visit by IP, IP's knowledge of sex work profession, membership of community-based organisation (all at individual level at end line) and any alcohol use by IP (at cluster level at baseline). All adjusted models were also controlled for the baseline cluster-level summary of the respective outcome.

  • IP, intimate partner; IPV, intimate partner violence.
