Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The current project aims to develop, implement and assess the effectiveness of an intervention program for perpetrators of intimate partner violence (both volunteers and court-mandated) that incorporates Motivational Interviewing techniques (MIT) as well as cognitive-behavioral and psychoeducational strategies implemented in a community setting. The intervention focuses on ending violence against the intimate partner and promoting the batterer's personal and social skills. The study uses pre- and post-treatment measures, with an experimental group (intervention) and two control groups (a group without intervention and a group without MIT). Data were collected at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up.
