Detailed Description

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

The goal of the project is to adapt and pilot a "gender transformative," sexual violence and adolescent relationship abuse prevention program, Sisterhood 2.0, among African American high school-age females in a community-based setting. The Sisterhood 2.0 curriculum was adapted from Program M, created in 2006 by Promundo to address health and empowerment of young women aged 15-24. The curriculum engages young women in questioning rigid and non-equitable stereotypes about masculinity and femininity and how these rigid stereotypes affect their health and well-being. This study will pilot test, using a quasi-experimental design, the participant satisfaction with the program through measures of attendance and retention, and be compared to a job skills development curriculum. This study is significant because there are too few evidence-based sexual violence and adolescent relationship abuse prevention program in the U.S., none that are specifically tailored for African American adolescent females, and there are no evidence- based programs implemented in community settings that target both sexual violence and adolescent relationship abuse and adolescent sexual health.
