What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Strength at Home (SAH) intervention in reducing intimate partner violence (IPV) among court-involved men in Washington State. It employs a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, comparing the SAH intervention with standard treatment as usual (TAU) for IPV. The aim is to provide evidence on the efficacy of SAH, which is crucial given the lack of randomized controlled trials in this area. Participants will include men court-referred for IPV intervention and their intimate partners.
