“…The current data are derived from the baseline assessments of adolescents participating in an evaluation of the Expect Respect TDV prevention program (see Ball et al [21] for details). Participants were 1,149 sixth to 12th grade students ( M age = 14.3; standard deviation = 1.6, Range = 11–17) from 35 schools in Texas referred by school counselors or social workers.…”

Purpose The goal of the present research was to identify distinct latent classes of adolescents that commit teen dating violence (TDV) and assess differences on demographic, behavioral, and attitudinal correlates. Methods Boys and girls (N = 1,149; Mage = 14.3; Grades 6–12) with a history of violence exposure completed surveys assessing six indices of TDV in the preceding 3 months. Indices of TDV included controlling behaviors, psychological TDV, physical TDV, sexual TDV, fear/intimidation, and injury. In addition, adolescents provided demographic and dating history information and completed surveys assessing attitudes condoning violence, relationship skills and knowledge, and reactive/proactive aggression. Results Latent class analysis indicated a three-class solution wherein the largest class of students was nonviolent on all indices (“nonaggressors”) and the smallest class of students demonstrated high probability of nearly all indices of TDV (“multiform aggressors”). In addition, a third class of “emotional aggressors” existed for which there was a high probability of controlling and psychological TDV but low likelihood of any other form of TDV. Multiform aggressors were differentiated from emotional and nonaggressors on the use of self-defense in dating relationships, attitudes condoning violence, and proactive aggression. Emotional aggressors were distinguished from nonaggressors on nearly all measured covariates. Conclusions Evidence indicates that different subgroups of adolescents engaging in TDV exist. In particular, a small group of youth engaging in multiple forms of TDV can be distinguished from a larger group of youth that commit acts of TDV restricted to emotional aggression (i.e., controlling and psychological) and most youth that do not engage in TDV.

“…It is a strength that graduating social workers would instruct clients on healthy relationships. However, an overemphasis on the individual as needing instruction neglects critical reflection on ecological contexts contributing to relationship dynamics, including modeling and acceptance of violent conflict resolution strategies by important role models in the lives of youth (Ball et al, 2012). The MSW students' emphasis on individualized education also aligns with the finding that over one-third of comments focused on counseling, a majority of which identified individual counseling as a preferred intervention.…”

“…10 Unfortunately these evidence-based programs are time-intensive (12 to 28 hours of instruction), reducing the feasibility of incorporating these programs with fidelity into health education curricula. When program structure and content are altered to fit into the school day, they may not be as effective.…”

BACKGROUND Schools in the United States are increasingly being urged to address the problem of adolescent dating violence (DV) with their students. Given the limited time available to implement prevention programming during the school day, brief programs are needed. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of a widely disseminated, brief community-based DV prevention program in partnership with a non-profit community agency. METHODS We conducted a randomized wait-list control trial of a 5-session DV prevention program (active condition) compared to health class as usual (wait-list control condition). Participants were 225 10th grade students with a recent dating history in a large public school in New England. Surveys were administered at baseline, end of program, and 3 months post-intervention. RESULTS After completing the program, students in the active condition reported significantly lower approval of aggression, healthier dating attitudes, and more DV knowledge. These effects were sustained at 3-month follow-up. In addition, students in the active condition reported significantly less emotional/verbal and total DV perpetration and victimization at 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that a brief, community-based DV prevention curriculum can promote change in behaviors, attitudes and knowledge among high school students.
