Workplace interventions for intimate partner violence: A systematic review

“…Table 1 summarizes the six included articles. The sample size of each study ranges from 53 to 941 individuals (Glass, Bloom, Perrin, & Anger, 2010;Glass et al, 2016). The studies were published from 2001 to 2016.…”

“…The percentage of study participants who were women ranged from <5% (Wagner, Yates, & Walcott, 2012) to 100% (Falk, Shepard, & Elliott, 2001). Only one study used a randomized design at the county level (Glass et al, 2016). All other studies were nonrandomized: two studies used pretest/posttest designs with a comparison group (Falk et al, 2001;Krishnan, Gambhir, Luecke, & Jagannathan, 2016), two had pretest/posttest designs with no comparison group (Glass et al, 2010;Navarro, Jasinski, & Wick, 2014), and one had a posttest design only with no comparison group (Wagner et al, 2012).…”

“…All other studies were nonrandomized: two studies used pretest/posttest designs with a comparison group (Falk et al, 2001;Krishnan, Gambhir, Luecke, & Jagannathan, 2016), two had pretest/posttest designs with no comparison group (Glass et al, 2010;Navarro, Jasinski, & Wick, 2014), and one had a posttest design only with no comparison group (Wagner et al, 2012). Five of the studies were from the U.S. (Falk et al, 2001;Glass et al, 2010Glass et al, , 2016Navarro et al, 2014;Wagner et al, 2012), whereas one study was conducted in India (Krishnan et al, 2016). Two studies focused exclusively on supervisors/managers (Glass et al, 2010(Glass et al, , 2016, three studies enrolled employees and supervisors/managers (Krishnan et al, 2016;Navarro et al, 2014;Wagner et al, 2012), and one study examined Employee Assistance Program (EAP) counselors (Falk et al, 2001).…”

“…Employees would benefit from information and training so that they are effectively able to respond to these disclosures (Kulkarni & Ross, 2016;MacGregor et al, 2016). In addition to employee training, workplaces can create specific IPV policies and protocols (e.g., flexible leave-time and employer assistance), account for privacy and confidentiality, and increase the availability of information and resources (Glass, Hanson, Laharnar, Anger, & Perrin, 2016).…”
