Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem. Traditional relationship violence intervention programs (RVIPs) are based on social learning and/or feminist theories and utilize psychoeducation and cognitive behavioral strategies. However, these RVIPs have minimal impact on IPV, and are particularly ineffective for men of color. There is an urgent need for more research to guide RVIP innovation and for evaluation of new approaches that are culturally responsive to the needs of men of color. In collaboration with community partners, we have developed a new RVIP called ProACTIVE, utilizing community-based participatory research. We will describe the implementation of this program and present data collected thus far.
