The promotion of well-being among children exposed to intimate partner violence: A systematic review of interventions.

Latzman NE; Casanueva C; Brinton J; Forman-Hoffman VL · Campbell systematic reviews · 2019 · Systematic review with limited meta-analysis

Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication

Recorded summary

Two intensive home-based parenting studies supported reduced child externalizing problems immediately after treatment and at eight months, but not four months. Most other outcomes could not be pooled and overall effectiveness remains uncertain.

Recorded limitations

Only eight eligible trials; heterogeneity prevented most meta-analyses. Restriction to low/moderate-risk studies was a protocol deviation. Most studies inferred child exposure from parental IPV reports; one study tracked adverse events.

Evidence and provenance

Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.

method
AI editorial assessment of all 130 publication records: compare identity, headline finding, design, relevance and limitations with indexed abstracts or available primary material; adjudicate retained source-supported methods amendments. This is a source-limited publication audit, not an independent full-text systematic review or a clinical guideline.
limitations

Abstract-only records do not establish allocation concealment, complete harms reporting or full risk of bias. · No formal independent RoB 2, GRADE appraisal or numerical reconstruction of every effect was performed. · Source-access labels describe retained appraisal evidence; fuller prior appraisals were checked through their source ledgers and selected material, not independently repeated in full. · Publication counts are not independent trial or participant counts; cohort links and overlapping review evidence remain provisional. · A randomized design cross does not indicate benefit, low risk of bias or human approval. No double-blind trial is verified in this release. · No professional clinical peer review is claimed. Recommended content is limited to accurately qualified research summaries.

    method
    AI editorial assessment of all 130 publication records: compare identity, headline finding, design, relevance and limitations with indexed abstracts or available primary material; adjudicate retained source-supported methods amendments. This is a source-limited publication audit, not an independent full-text systematic review or a clinical guideline.
    limitations

    Abstract-only records do not establish allocation concealment, complete harms reporting or full risk of bias. · No formal independent RoB 2, GRADE appraisal or numerical reconstruction of every effect was performed. · Source-access labels describe retained appraisal evidence; fuller prior appraisals were checked through their source ledgers and selected material, not independently repeated in full. · Publication counts are not independent trial or participant counts; cohort links and overlapping review evidence remain provisional. · A randomized design cross does not indicate benefit, low risk of bias or human approval. No double-blind trial is verified in this release. · No professional clinical peer review is claimed. Recommended content is limited to accurately qualified research summaries.

    population
    Children and adolescents exposed to IPV, including direct or indirect exposure; child-level outcomes required
    exposure Evidence
    Eligibility and study population descriptions explicitly concern IPV perpetrators, IPV-exposed survivors/children, or IPV prevention.
    rationale
    Adds a child-focused comparative synthesis that separates eight study families from fifteen reports and retains the null intermediate follow-up result.
    transfer Limit
    Only eight eligible trials; heterogeneity prevented most meta-analyses. Restriction to low/moderate-risk studies was a protocol deviation. Most studies inferred child exposure from parental IPV reports; one study tracked adverse events.

    Psychosocial interventions including parenting support, child-parent psychotherapy, CBT and case management directed at children, nonoffending parents or families.
    dose
    Varied by intervention; no common dose.

    Different parent-training, therapy and case-management providers; qualifications not reconciled in this assessment.
    comparator
    Attention/inactive controls in three trials; five compared active interventions.

      primary Status
      Review outcome; no participant-randomized trial conducted by this publication.
    finding
    Two intensive home-based parenting studies supported reduced child externalizing problems immediately after treatment and at eight months, but not four months. Most other outcomes could not be pooled and overall effectiveness remains uncertain.

    Only eight eligible trials; heterogeneity prevented most meta-analyses. Restriction to low/moderate-risk studies was a protocol deviation. Most studies inferred child exposure from parental IPV reports; one study tracked adverse events.
