Abstract

The article discusses a Stage II randomized clinical trial conducted by researchers at Yale University School of Medicine, focusing on the co-occurrence of Substance Use (SU) and Family Violence (FV) among fathers. The trial compares two interventions: Fathers for Change (F4C) and Individual Drug Counseling (IDC), targeting 280 fathers who have experienced substance use disorders and have engaged in physical or psychological violence towards a partner. The study aims to demonstrate that F4C can effectively reduce both SU and FV while improving emotion regulation, which may mediate these outcomes. The findings are expected to have significant clinical and public health implications for addressing these intertwined issues and supporting affected families. [Extracted from the article]
