Brief Summary:
Strength at Home Couples (SAH-C) is a group intervention designed to prevent and reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) among military couples. This randomized controlled trial examined whether participants in the SAH-C and the support group control conditions reported reduced IPV (i.e., physical, psychological, sexual, and coercive control) or suicidality immediately postintervention and 3 months later. 71 couples were randomly assigned to the SAH-C intervention, and 67 couples were assigned to the
control. In general, Service members and partners in both groups reported decreases in psychological IPV and coercive control.
