Moderator effects in a randomized controlled trial of the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) for intimate partner violence and hazardous alcohol use in Zambia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intimate partner violence (IPV) and hazardous alcohol use are prevalent and co-occurring problems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While limited evidence suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions can help address these problems, few randomized trials in LMICs have investigated moderators of treatment effectiveness. This study explores moderating factors impacting responsiveness to a CBT-based intervention for IPV and hazardous alcohol use among couples in Zambia.

Methods

Data were obtained from a completed randomized trial of a CBT-based intervention, the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA), among 248 couples in Lusaka. Female experiences of IPV and male alcohol use were measured at baseline and 12 months post-baseline. Mixed
