Romantic relationships are often fraught with challenges for individuals post-release. Yet, few relationships-focused services are offered during this important and complex transitional period. Using pre- and post-test survey data, this pilot study of 63 men living in a residential substance treatment facility post release evaluated the impact of a 20-h individual-oriented relationship education (RE) program (Within My Reach) on attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV), sexist beliefs, attitudes toward infidelity, relational efficacy, and relationship decision making. Results showed a significant decrease in support of IPV at pre- and post-test even after controlling for education, number of children, and relationship status.

恋爱关系往往对个人在获释后充满挑战。然而，在这个重要而复杂的过渡时期，很少提供以关系为中心的服务。使用测试前和测试后的调查数据，这项对 63 名居住在住宅物质治疗设施中的男性释放后进行的试点研究评估了 20 小时以个人为导向的关系教育 (RE) 计划（在我的范围内）对态度的影响亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）、性别歧视信念、对不忠的态度、关系效能和关系决策。结果显示，即使在控制了教育、子女数量和关系状况之后，测试前和测试后对 IPV 的支持也显着下降。
