Brief Summary

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

Lights4Violence aims to promote adolescents' capabilities to improve their intimate relationships with peers through different participation approach activities. In order to do that, it is planned to perform a longitudinal quasi-experimental educational intervention study with a quantitative evaluation in 5 different cities: Alicante (Spain), Cardiff (UK), Porto (Portugal), Iasi (Romania) and Lublin (Poland) between 2018 and 2019.

Detailed Description

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

DESIGN: Longitudinal quasi-experimental educational intervention study with a quantitative evaluation.

PILOT STUDY (June - July of 2018): Prior to the implementation of the program in the whole sample, an evaluation pilot study will be carried out with a minimum of 20 adolescents (10 boys and 10 girls) who are finishing the same grade as those who will later receive the intervention in August-September 2018. This pilot study focuses on:

* Determining the competencies and capacities of the participants to carry out the on-line questionnaire.
* Calculating the time it takes the students to complete the questionnaire
* Carrying out an internal validation of the questionnaire (that is, are there different responses to similar questions?) among the study population by calculating internal consistency and validity indices.

The obtained results will be shared among the members of the consortium in order to evaluate possible adaptations considered necessary.

PARTICIPANTS: Two groups of students will be assigned either an intervention or control condition, respectively. The intervention group will be composed of boys and girls aged 13 years or more, studying in secondary schools in the city. The control group will be made up of students from other centers with similar socioeconomic characteristics (relating to social characteristics and school location) to the centers. The evaluation survey will be given to a total of 300 students per country, 120 to 150 from the intervention group and 150 from the control group.

The schools selection will be carried out by contacting different secondary education centers from the city as considered appropriate by the members of the research team (non-random sample). The program contents will be presented and the possibility to participate will be offered. The intervention group will be selected from among the students whose centers accept participation in the study. The control group will be made up of students from secondary education centers with social characteristics similar to the centers that will be implement the intervention. The students from the control and the intervention groups will have the same composition in terms of age, sex and academic course. It is recommended that the control and intervention groups belong to different educational centers in order to avoid contamination. It should be mentioned that this is a wait-list control study, that is, those centers that participate in the project as a part of the control group should be offered the possibility of participating in teacher training, access to guides and manuals generated by the project as well as carrying out the intervention in the future (i.e., when the intervention is finished in the intervention group) with Lights4Violence researchers' support if the participants consider it necessary and the research team have the capacity to do it.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Longitudinal quasi-experimental educational intervention study. The evaluation will be carried out using an on-line questionnaire distributed to an intervention and a control groups at two time periods: before starting the program (Baseline, time 0 or T0), after finishing the study - including the dissemination phase - (time 1 or T1). In addition, a process evaluation will be carried out with the intervention group.

Study Groups

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

Group 1

Students enrolled in one or two targeted secondary schools in each city who are going to receive the intervention (workshop)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Filming Together to See Ourselves in a New 'Present'

Intervention Type OTHER

PHASE 0. PRIOR TRAINING 1) Promoting protective assets related to violence together. 10-hour training session with 10-15 secondary school teachers; 2) Identifying our own protective assets against violence. This training activity will be addressed to targeted students. The activity will be carried out in four sessions of 1 hour in duration.

PHASE 1.PRE-PRODUCTION. 1) Participant activity on building story arguments; and 2) Construction of a technical and literary guide to the video capsules.

PHASE 2: PRODUCTION.- 1) Rehearsal of the script developed by each group; 2) Preparation and selection of environment, wardrobe and characterization of the roles and, 3) Filming of the video capsules.

PHASE 3: POST-PRODUCTION.- This phase consists of putting together the short film using the various video capsules.

PHASE 4: DISSEMINATION. A short film exhibition to provide a space where participants can present their video capsules and briefly explain the production process.

Grup 0

Students from other centers with similar socioeconomic characteristics (relating to social characteristics and school location) to the centers.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
