The aims of this study were to (1) evaluate the effects of a statewide intimate partner violence (IPV) training on home visitors' perceived knowledge, skills, and abilities to address IPV experienced by their clients and (2) examine home visitors' perceived barriers to addressing IPV during client home visits. ⋯ Our findings highlight the immediate positive effects of an IPV training on home visitors' professional capabilities to address IPV experienced by clients and the most prevalent barriers home visitors face when addressing IPV that should be targeted in future health education interventions.
