This trial will test the impact of a culturally tailored and theory driven primary intimate partner violence prevention intervention with Spanish speaking Latino men.
In this randomized controlled trial, Spanish speaking Latino men will be recruited from community church settings in Southwest Detroit and randomly assigned to: (a) an intimate partner violence prevention intervention or (b) a wait-list control condition. Latino men assigned to the intervention will receive, in a small group setting, an 8-session, primary intimate partner violence prevention intervention based on the Duluth model and culturally and linguistically tailored for Spanish speaking Latino men. Measures will be administered at pre-test, and at three and six months post-intervention.
