Notes:	This study is a 'consumer-based' assessment of four batterer programmes that have been conducted for more than five years in the United States. It concentrates on the responses to an open-ended question that asks for suggestions for changing or improving the programme. Most of the 840 male participants of the multi-site research were court-mandated to the programmes. Around seventy per cent of the batterers (70.7%) and their partners (73%) responded to the programme modification question. However, only 14 per cent of the men and 13 per cent of the women made specific recommendations. Men suggested changes in content and counselling, and both men and women proposed structural changes and women involvement. White women and educated men were more likely to advise changes.
