Brief Summary

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

The present study was a quasi-experiment study. College students were recruited and divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. There were roughly 180-210 participants in each group, which totaled 360-420 people in all. The measurements of Dating Violence Myths and Dating Violence Bystander Help-giving Intention Questionnaire were implemented with a pre-, post-test, and 2-month follow-up design to analyze the immediate and continued educational effects. The investigators also invite 10 -30 participants to participate in online anonymous group interviews to collect qualitative data. The investigators expect dating violence education programs can improve college students' dating violence myths and dating violence bystander help-giving intention and behavior. The dating violence education program on the e-learning platform can be widely used in other colleges to build up safe dating relationships and friendly campuses.

Detailed Description

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

Dating violence is a global health problem that strongly affects young people's physical and mental health. Whether bystanders who are witnesses or are asked for help take action to help victims influences the cycle of violence, but the studies of bystander behavior and prevention programs for dating violence have lacked in Taiwan. The investigators designed and constructed the e-learning platform as an education program on dating violence based on the theory of planned behavior to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs in improving dating violence myths and bystanders' help-giving intention and behavior among college students. The present study was a quasi-experiment study. College students were recruited and divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. There were roughly 180-210 participants in each group, which totaled 360-420 people in all. The measurements of Dating Violence Myths and Dating Violence Bystander Help-giving Intention Questionnaire were implemented with a pre-, post-test, and 2-month follow-up design to analyze the immediate and continued educational effects. The investigators also invite 10 -30 participants to participate in online anonymous group interviews to collect qualitative data. The investigators expect dating violence education programs can improve college students' dating violence myths and dating violence bystander help-giving intention and behavior.
