DV annually. The study conducted by Basu, et al (2009) examined the effectiveness of a ten-week intervention that was community-based and designed to provide psycho-educational group support. The study sample
consisted of 36 mothers and 20 children, who were assessed prior to the intervention and at three and six months post- intervention. The study utilized the same intervention program as
one conducted by Graham-Bermann and colleagues, which is the only study to undertake offering an intervention that simultaneously treats battered mothers and their children, alleviating the need for the mothers
to arrange childcare in order to participate. Participants can be characterized as following into one of three groups: the intervention group (IG), a
wait-list control group (CG) or to an early termination comparison group (EG), which consisted of women who completed less than four sessions, but were available in regards to the follow
up interviews. The researchers hypothesis was that the IG women would experience a lesser degree of anxiety and depression than the women in the other two groups and that the
children in the IG group would demonstrate a greater degree of self-competence, as well as a lesser degree of trauma symptoms. Mothers and their children were randomly assigned to
the IG or CG groups. Consent forms were completed at each interview, which were conducted by undergraduate interviewers, who were blind to the hypotheses and trained for this purpose. Interviews
with mothers and children were conducted separately. The results of univariate F-tests did not indicate statistically significant differences in trauma symptoms across the groups; but, graphical analyses indicated that
the intervention outcomes conformed to the anticipated direction, as mean differences between the groups, when graphed, showed that the IG group demonstrated the greatest decline in depression and anxiety symptoms.
