The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has implemented safety planning, but research found variability in the quality of safety plans. To improve quality, the VA developed an Advanced Training in the Safety Planning Intervention (ASPI) that went beyond previous didactic training efforts by emphasizing experiential learning. The aim of this article is to describe the procedures and initial results of VA's competency-based ASPI Training Program. Before training, providers participating in this program uploaded a written, deidentified safety plan completed with a Veteran. Providers then completed four training components, including evaluation of fidelity of written safety plans and competency in SPI during live, standardized roleplays at the conclusion of training, and at a 3-month follow-up evaluation. Of the 409 providers who initiated training, 367 (90%) completed training, 26 (6%) dropped out of training, and 16 (4%) did not meet the competency requirements for training completion. Relative to pretraining, there was a medium to large increase in the effect size of the quality of written Safety Plans at the end of training that was maintained at the 3-month follow-up. Using a standardized, observational measure of SPI competency, 383 of 391 (98%) providers met competency criteria following the training, and 367 of 375 (98%) providers met competency at 3-month follow-up. Findings suggest that ASPI training is effective in helping providers achieve and maintain fidelity in safety planning.

We examined whether it also predicts subsequent IPV or other aggression. We conducted a secondary analysis of self-reports by 1,039 women and 509 men who participated in the first two waves of the Interpersonal Conflict and Resolution Study (Mumford et al., 2019). We defined coercive control as any reported perpetration at Wave 1 of threat to physically harm, threat to use information to control, or put down or disrespect their partner. The participants also reported perpetration of verbal abuse and physical or sexual aggression against intimate partners. We tested correlations of these behaviors with similar acts toward nonintimates (friends or unfamiliar persons) in Wave 1 and the prediction of physical violence in Wave 2, approximately 5 months later. Coercive control (14% of men, 26% of women) was correlated with physical or sexual IPV (8% of men, 15% of women) in both women and men and with physical violence and coercive control to nonintimates. In logistic regressions entering Wave 1 physical IPV on the first step, Wave 1 coercive control was a significant independent predictor of Wave 2 physical IPV overall, and for men but not women. Coercive control did not independently predict nonintimate physical violence. Coercive control toward an intimate partner is a unique predictor of physical IPV among men. Future research should use improved measures of coercive control and further examine coercive control as an indicator of general antisociality.

One of the veteran focus groups was exclusive to veterans of color. We used a rapid qualitative data analysis approach to analyze the results.

Participants also reported challenges accessing community services outside of the VHA. The rural women veterans reported a strong preference for gender-specific services. Leveraging existing VHA resources with rural women veterans may mitigate some of the identified barriers.
