DESCRIPTION:More than one in four women worldwide have experienced intimate
  partner violence (IPV)\, yet few policy interventions have proven to be ef
 fective in reducing IPV. Those that have all operated at the community leve
 l rather than targeting households at risk. This paper seeks to establish w
 hether community-wide treatment is a necessary component of behavior change
 \, and\, if so\, what is the mechanism through which engaging non-violent h
 ouseholds promotes behavior change among those at risk. Models of social no
 rms offer a potential pathway via enhanced norms enforcement\, but empirica
 l evidence is lacking. To test whether social norms enforcement can reduce 
 the incidence of IPV\, we evaluate the Peruvian government’s flagship IPV
  prevention program using a field experiment randomized across 250 communit
 ies. Households experiencing IPV were identified at baseline and offered 8â
 €“12 interactive sessions led by community health workers\, combining preve
 ntion curricula with telenovela-style edutainment. In a randomly chosen hal
 f of communities\, 30% of non-violent couples are also invited to participa
 te. Consistent with previous findings\, the program substantially reduced I
 PV reported by at-risk women\, with effects concentrated among active parti
 cipants. In addition\, effects on at-risk women were significantly larger i
 n communities that also delivered the program to low-risk households. We sh
 ow that the expanded program achieves greater reductions in IPV by generati
 ng program effects among at-risk households that are the most difficult to 
 reach: in villages that targeted households at risk\, IPV falls exclusively
  among program participants\, while in villages that also engaged nonviolen
 t households\, IPV also falls among at-risk non-participants. Moreover\, th
 e benefits of the expanded program are observed even when delivered to coup
 les at home rather than in a group setting in which participants can intera
 ct. Overall\, these patterns indicate that engaging non-violent households 
 activates community-level norms enforcement\, providing novel evidence that
  collective norms activation is central to extending the reach and efficacy
  of IPV prevention efforts.\\n\\nContact: Timothée Demont : timothee.demo
