This study examined the efficacy of a brief (four session) intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention program (Building a Lasting Love, Langhinrichsen-Rohling et al. 2005) that was designed to reduce the relationship violence of predominantly African American inner-city adolescent girls (n = 72) who were receiving teen pregnancy services. These high-risk girls were randomly assigned to the prevention program (n = 39) or waitlist control (n = 33) conditions. Implementation fidelity was documented. As predicted, girls who successfully completed the program (n = 24) reported significant reductions in their perpetration of psychological abuse toward their baby's father as compared to the control (n = 23) participants. They also reported experiencing significantly less severe IPV victimization over the course of the program. Preliminary analyses indicated that avoidant attachment to one's partner may be associated with less program-related change. These findings support the contention that brief IPV prevention programs can be targeted to selected groups of high-risk adolescents.
本研究考察了一个简短(四节)的亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)预防计划(Building a Lasting Love,Langhinrichsen-Rohling 等人,2005 年)的效果,该计划旨在减少主要是非洲裔美国城市内青少年女孩(n=72)的关系暴力,这些高风险女孩正在接受青少年怀孕服务。这些高风险女孩被随机分配到预防计划(n=39)或候补名单控制(n=33)条件。记录了实施的一致性。正如预测的那样,成功完成该计划的女孩(n=24)与对照组(n=23)相比,报告称对婴儿父亲实施心理虐待的行为明显减少。她们还报告说,在整个计划期间,她们经历的 IPV 受害情况明显较轻。初步分析表明,对伴侣的回避依恋可能与较少的项目相关变化有关。这些发现支持了这样一种观点,即简短的 IPV 预防计划可以针对特定的高危青少年群体。
