Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of a novel intervention approach for fathers arrested for an initial episode of intimate partner violence (IPV) by systematically developing an alternate version of a standard, statewide, court-mandated Family Violence Education Program (FVEP) to focus specifically on the importance of fathering within a cognitive-behavioral intervention to be called Fatherhood Focused FVEP (F3).


Description:

This study will aim to modify the treatment as usual FVEP framework to be father focused. Materials will be developed to accommodate the change in scope of program focus for the purposes of training and supervising group leaders. An evaluation of the fidelity to the original FVEP model will be assessed through the review of service delivery. In addition, the acceptability of Fatherhood Focused FVEP (F3) will be compared to the treatment as usual, FVEP as it is presently implemented. To do this, fathers who participate in FVEP will be compared to men who participate in F3 around the constructs: group cohesion, motivation to change, satisfaction with the program and rates of successful completion. Tertiary outcomes will include the assessment of: aggression toward intimate partners and hostile-aggressive parenting behaviors as reported on assessment measures and subsequent arrest records.
