Description:	Existing Cook County electronic data, supplemented by data collected from case records, will be used to add outcome-related measures to data currently collected on men participating inthe Cook County Domestic Violence Intervention Program. This will enable researchers to re-configure the assessment tool currently utilized by Cook County so that it is based on outcome data. In addition, the project will collect longitudinal data on predictors of batterer attrition and outcomes that can be used by policy makers and practitioners to improve interventions with batterers.
