Adult men (n=1387) and their female partners (n=1220) participated in the study. The primary outcomes of the study were female report of past year physical and\/ or sexual IPV and men\u2019s intention to commit violence. Secondary outcomes included men\u2019s gender attitudes, women\u2019s economic and emotional IPV, women\u2019s perception of negative male behaviors and perceived quality of the relationship.\n\nMen in EMAP reported significant reductions in intention to commit violence (\u00df=-0.76; SE=0.23; p<0.01), decreased agreement with any reason that justifies wife beating (OR=0.59; SE=0.08; p<0.01) and increased agreement with the ability of a woman to refuse sex for all reasons (OR=1.47; SE=0.24; p<0.05), compared with men in the control group. We found no statistically significant differences in women\u2019s experiences of IPV between treatment and control group at follow-up (physical or sexual IPV: adjusted OR=0.95; SE=0.14; p=0.71). However, female partners of men in EMAP reported significant improvements to the quality of relationship (\u00df=0.28; p<0.05) and significant reductions in negative male behavior (\u00df=-0.32; p<0.01).\n\nInterventions engaging men have the potential to change gender attitudes and behaviors in conflict-affected areas. However, while EMAP led to changes in gender attitudes and behaviors related to perpetration of IPV, the study showed no overall reduction of women\u2019s experience of IPV. Further research is needed to understand how working with men may lead to long- term and meaningful changes in IPV and related gender equitable attitudes and behaviors in conflict areas.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2016-04-01","end":"2016-09-01","cycle":"Baseline"}],"nation":[{"name":"Congo, Dem.
