Research
Mazeda Hossain is currently leading a cluster randomised controlled trial in Cote d'Ivoire evaluating a male-focused intimate partner violence prevention intervention. Prior to this, she coordinated a multi-country study on health and violence against women asylum seekers and refugees in Europe. She was also extensively involved in another multi-country study measuring the physical and mental health outcomes of women trafficked for sexual exploitation in Europe.
Since joining the GVH Centre, she has been involved with the development of study protocols and questionnaires measuring violence among vulnerable populations; coordinated household surveys in Cote d'Ivoire among men and women; trained study teams in data collection methods that are sensitive to the needs of traumatised populations; and developed sexual and reproductive health guidelines for trafficked women and people living with HIV/AIDS in Europe.
Her current research interests are focused on violence in conflict-affected settings and the design and evaluation of complex interventions.
