Summary

This study compares a group program called Strength at Home (SAH) to standard court-mandated interventions for men who have used intimate partner violence (IPV) in Washington State. About 800 men will be randomly assigned to either SAH or treatment as usual, and researchers will track physical and psychological aggression, PTSD symptoms, alcohol use, and treatment satisfaction over one year. The goal is to see if SAH works as well as or better than existing programs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Strength at Home (SAH) group behavioral intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an evidence-based alternative to current court-mandated programs for reducing intimate partner violence.
What could go wrong
This is a non-inferiority trial, meaning it aims to show SAH is not worse than standard care, not necessarily better. Results may not apply outside Washington State or to non-court-involved individuals.
