To preliminarily evaluate telephone-delivered motivational enhancement therapy (MET) in motivating unadjudicated and nontreatment seeking intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators, who also use substances, to self-refer into treatment. METHOD: 124 adult men were recruited via a multimedia marketing campaign and were randomly assigned to the intervention (MET) or comparison group following a baseline assessment. Participants in the MET condition received a personalized feedback report on their IPV and substance-use behaviors, consequences, and social norms beliefs. RESULTS: Results supported the likely effectiveness of MET in short-term reduction of IPV behavior, increasing motivation for treatment seeking, and changing perceived norms for IPV and substance abuse (SA). CONCLUSIONS: Applications for brief MET interventions to facilitate voluntary treatment entry among substance-using IPV perpetrators are discussed.
初步评估通过电话提供的动机增强疗法（MET）对那些未被判定且未寻求治疗的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）肇事者（同时也使用毒品）进行自我转介接受治疗的激励效果。方法：通过多媒体营销活动招募了124名成年男性，在基线评估后将他们随机分配到干预组（MET）或对照组。MET组的参与者收到了一份关于他们的IPV和物质使用行为、后果以及社会规范信念的个性化反馈报告。结果：结果支持了MET在短期内减少IPV行为、增加寻求治疗的动机以及改变对IPV和药物滥用（SA）的认知规范方面可能具有的有效性。结论：讨论了简短MET干预在促进使用毒品的IPV肇事者自愿接受治疗方面的应用。
