Article Abstract
The ) intervention, a trauma-informed, cognitive-behavioral intervention for intimate partner violence (IPV), was examined in a sample of court-mandated men. Evidence from prior research indicates that is effective in military veterans but the program has not been examined in civilians. It was expected that participants would evidence reductions in physical and psychological IPV, as well as secondary outcomes of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and alcohol use problems. Participants included 23 men court mandated to IPV intervention. The sample was low income and 72.7% had a reported prior history of severe physical IPV perpetration. Data from these participants and collateral partners were examined across assessments reflecting baseline, post-treatment, and two 3-month follow-ups. The outcome variables were assessed at each time point to examine change over time and a post-treatment satisfaction measure was also administered immediately following the intervention. Participants showed a significant linear decrease between baseline and post-treatment in all of the primary and secondary IPV outcomes, which maintained at 3- and 6-month follow-up time points. Effect sizes across models were moderate to large. Participants reported high satisfaction with . Study findings provide preliminary support that the intervention is associated with reductions in IPV among civilians and addresses other trauma- and alcohol-related problems. Further research including larger randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the efficacy of this intervention. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

Purpose: Given the lack of available and effective interventions to address the detrimental consequences of perinatal exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) on maternal mental health, and reported very low access to IPV-related mental health services in Mexico, we examined the feasibility and efficacy of a culturally adapted, virtual, brief group psychosocial intervention designed to improve maternal mental and physical health and reduce IPV revictimization for pregnant women exposed to IPV. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, we evaluated maternal outcomes after participation in the Pregnant Moms' Empowerment Program (PMEP) in Mexico.
Methods: Women were recruited from social service agencies and health centers in the community, as well as social media advertisements that targeted pregnant women living in Mexico.
"Why Do We Have to be Almost Dead to Qualify for Help?": Criminal Legal and Protection System Responses to Intimate Partner Violence Against Indigenous Women in Canada.

Analyzing 30 one-on-one qualitative interviews with Indigenous women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), this article provides a critical examination of responses to IPV by criminal legal and related systems of intervention, such as child and family services. More specifically, the article analyzes the voiced experiences of Indigenous women who sought support from systems designed to address IPV and gendered and sexualized violence. Grounded in Indigenous feminist thought and theories of settler colonial gendered violence, the study reveals that in the context of ongoing settler colonial gendered violence, Indigenous women survivors of IPV victimization in Canada were overwhelmingly met with revictimization and violence by the systems tasked with anti-violence intervention.

Yet such data remain scarce in British Columbia (BC), Canada.

However, there is a paucity of evidence in low-income countries such as Ethiopia in WLWHIV.
