      ab: We conducted a formative evaluation and evaluability assessment of a novel approach to domestic violence (DV) intervention in Seattle, Washington: The Domestic Violence Intervention Project (DVIP). The DVIP seeks to address DV through evidence-based DV intervention programming and a multi-agency response. Using document reviews, deidentified case file reviews, focus groups with DVIP team members, and a data review, we examined: (1) the extent to which the program theory aligns with the program implemented, (2) the likelihood the program will produce positive results as currently applied, and (3) the feasibility of outcome evaluations as currently designed. Findings suggest that the DVIP is ready for an outcome evaluation. We also discuss broader implications for the field of DV intervention research.
