New hope for breaking the cycle of domestic violence?
NCT ID NCT06803043
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a trauma-informed program called Strength at Home works better than the usual state-approved program for reducing intimate partner violence. About 800 men who are court-ordered to attend such programs, along with their partners, will take part. Researchers will track physical and psychological violence, PTSD symptoms, and other factors over time.
