The search strategy was developed and run by an expertise in systematic reviews. In addition database searching, other related information sources were recognized by checking references and citation lists. Only one of the researchers did search the databases. Two independent reviewers examined all studies. Included studies had to be published; peer reviewed that satisfied the a priori determined population (all ages and only healthy female, all countries, all times, and without limit language), intervention (randomized controlled interventions), comparator (all interventions divided into ten categories) and outcome (any study considered for the review had to include a subjective measure of intimate partner violence such as changes will be evaluated by self-reported and objective measure of intimate partner violence such as changes will be evaluated by observational) (PICO).
