Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present research creates a partnership between researchers and a community agency to evaluate whether a sexual assault prevention program for high school students reduces perpetration of sexual violence among high school boys.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The present research advances the science of sexual assault prevention by creating a mutually beneficial partnership between well-established sexual assault prevention researchers and a CDC Rape Prevention and Education Program (RPE)-funded community agency to conduct a rigorous experimental evaluation of universal primary prevention programming designed to reduce sexual aggression among high school boys. The present research tests multi-session prevention programming that targets change at multiple levels of the social ecology (i.e., individual-, peer- and community-level) through social norms theory and bystander education. Specifically, the present research evaluates Your Voice Your View. Your Voice Your View was developed and is currently administered in Rhode Island High Schools by the CDC RPE-funded agency Day One of Rhode Island. The program will be tested in a group randomized cluster trial among 10th graders at 30 high schools, with the aim of reducing perpetration of sexual aggression among high school boys.

Specifically, this research will conduct a randomized controlled trial with a sample of 10th grade students to demonstrate efficacy of the intervention in reducing rates of sexual aggression among high school boys, rates of dating violence involvement, and related risk and protective factors over a 2- and 6-month follow-up in comparison to a wait-list control group. Thirty schools will be matched on demographic characteristics (i.e., % receiving subsidized lunch, racial/ethnic minority enrollment) and randomized to receive Your Voice Your View or to the wait-list control group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Your Voice Your View

Participants in schools assigned to the treatment group will engage in a four session intervention aimed at prevention of sexual violence. Your Voice Your View is grounded in social norms theory and bystander intervention training. The intervention also includes a social norms marketing campaign.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Your Voice Your View

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Session 1 of the intervention involves background information, an introduction to social norms, and bystander intervention skills training. Session 2 of the intervention establishes conditions for consent, types of abusive behavior and identifying abuse. Session 3 of the intervention addresses risk reduction strategies for girls. Session 3 of the intervention addresses false accusations, masculinity, and additional practice on identifying conditions for consent for boys. Session 4 of the intervention includes active practice of bystander intervention skills.

Wait List Control Group

Participants in schools assigned to the wait list control group will complete survey assessments at the same schedule as schools assigned to the treatment group. Schools will have the option to implement Your Voice Your View following completion of the 6-month survey.
