Abstract

The current study addresses the paucity of research on relationship violence intervention program (RVIP) attrition examining both male and female clients and risk factors for attrition across gender. Bivariate comparison tests and logistic regression were used to examine gender differences among participants from four RVIPs in Maryland that serve both male and female clients ( n = 1,307). Findings showed significant bivariate differences by gender for 14 of the factors examined. Less than half of clients (48%) completed RVIP, and women were significantly more likely to complete than men. A greater number of factors predicted attrition for male clients, but unemployment was the strongest predictor of attrition for both men and women. Implications for integrating gender-responsive practices into RVIP are discussed.
