For this study on DV rehabilitation attrition, 62 male batterers and 31 female victims were recruited during six month time frame from an existing batterers' program. Of the batterers, one man was removed study, 38 dropped out of program, 23 transition maintenance phase A logistical regression predict completion status resulted Model Chi-square statistic 31.08 (p =. 000). Completers more likely young, court-monitored, had lower levels stress (SOS Inventory) posttraumatic (PCL), higher mutuality (MPDQ) their relationships than noncompleters. The model predicted 88.89% noncompleters, 78.26% completers, overall predictive ability 84.75% for sample.
