Abstract
|
|
|
|
Despite the established utility of programs to help women victims of domestic violence, the drop-out rate between initial contact and program completion is up to 70%. To establish better treatment engagement and retention, a very brief intervention based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy commitment strategies was developed. Results showed no significant initial attendance improvement from the enhanced commitment strategies. However, treatment completion rate in the enhanced commitment group showed a trend favoring this brief new intervention (46% in the enhanced commitment vs. 28% in the standard group). Implications for intervention programs and future research to improve retention further are discussed.
