We conducted a meta-analysis on child emotional and behavioral outcomes of IPV exposure interventions, based on published reviews that included a child component. We also explored relative effect sizes by examining moderators of the effect sizes across studies. This meta-analysis included 21 evaluation studies across 12 published reviews, which were located using a multiple database systematic search of English publications between 2000 and 2019. Studies were required to evaluate IPV interventions that included children, to gather quantitative pre- and post-intervention data on child outcomes, to use standardized instruments, and to present data in a format that could be used in a meta-analysis. Results indicated an overall pre- to post-intervention medium effect size ( d = 0.49), with effect sizes ranging from small to large depending on the specific outcome. Improvements at follow-up were maintained for internalizing behaviors but decreased for trauma-related symptoms and social, externalizing, and total behaviors. However, externalizing and total behavior outcomes still had significant effect sizes in the small-to-medium range ( d = 0.36 and 0.44). There were greater intervention effects when treatment was not exclusively trauma-specific. It appears that IPV exposure interventions are generally effective for improving children\u2019s emotional and behavioral well-being, although interventions would benefit from greater tailoring to children\u2019s specific needs. Interventions may also benefit from incorporating various content areas (both trauma-specific and non-trauma-specific) and from greater focus on ensuring the maintenance of treatment gains.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838019881737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,18]],"date-time":"2019-10-18T02:49:51Z","timestamp":1571366991000},"page":"728-738","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Meta-Analysis on Interventions for Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3680-8354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisa","family":"Romano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelly","family":"Weegar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5130-6224","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Gallitto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Zak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Saini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524838019881737","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1503\/cmaj.131792"},{"key":"bibr2-1524838019881737","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15091955"},{"key":"bibr3-1524838019881737","first-page":"1","author":"Austin A.
