Sullivan and Bybee (1999) reported on an intervention program for women with abusive partners. The study involved a 10-week intervention program and a three-year follow-up, and used an experimental (intervention) and control group. At the end of the 10-week intervention period the mean quality of life score for the intervention group was 5.03 with a standard deviation of 1.01 and a sample size of 135. For the control group the mean was 4.61 with a standard deviation of 1.13 and a sample size of 130. Do these data indicate that the intervention was successful in terms of the quality of life measure?
