Outcomes were measured at baseline, immediately post-training, and 1-month follow-up using validated TPB-based instruments. Analyses employed Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, McNemar’s tests, and logistic regression.ResultsAttitudes improved significantly (mean difference = 0.34; p=0.005), and IPV screening behavior increased from 22.7% pretraining to 72.7% at 1 month (p
