abstract: 'BackgroundGlobally, including in low- and middle-income {[}LMIC]

  countries, there is increased attention to and investment in

  interventions to prevent and respond to violence against women; however,

  most of these approaches are delivered outside of formal or informal

  health systems. The World Health Organization published clinical and

  policy guidelines Responding to intimate partner violence and sexual

  violence against women in 2013. Further evidence is needed concerning

  implementation of the Guidelines, including how health care providers

  perceive training interventions, if the training approach meets their

  needs and is of relevance to them and how to ensure sustainability of

  changes in practice due to training. This manuscript describes a study

  protocol for a mixed methods study of the implementation of the

  Guidelines and related tools in tertiary hospitals in two districts in

  Maharashtra, India.MethodsThe study will employ a mixed-methods study

  design. A quantitative assessment of health care providers'' and

  managers'' knowledge, attitudes, and practices will be conducted pre,

  post, and 6months after the training. Qualitative methods will include a

  participatory stakeholders'' meeting to inform the design of the training

  intervention design, in-depth interviews {[}IDIs] and focus-group

  discussions {[}FGDs] with health care providers and managers 3-6months

  after training, and IDIs with women who have disclosed violence to a

  trained health care provider, approximately 6months after training. The

  study will also validate two tools: a readiness assessment of health

  facilities and a health management information system form in a facility

  register format which will be used to document cases of

  violence.DiscussionThe multiple components of this study will generate

  data to improve our understanding of how implementation of the

  Guidelines works, what barriers and facilitators to implementation exist

  in this context, and how current implementation practices result in

  changes in terms of health services and providers'' practices of

  responding to women affected by violence. The results will be useful for

  governmental and non-governmental and United Nations Agency efforts to

  improve health systems and services for women affected by violence, as

  well as for researchers working on health systems responses to violence

  against women in India and possibly other contexts.'
