The prevalence and consequences of
teen dating violence make it a public health concern that requires
early and effective prevention. To date, only three prevention
strategies -- Safe Dates, the Youth Relationships Project, and 4th
R - have demonstrated reductions in dating violence behaviors in
rigorous, controlled evaluations. In order to protect young people
and build an evidence-base of effective prevention strategies,
evaluation of additional programs is needed, including those
programs currently in the field. Expect Respect Support Groups
(developed and currently provided by SafePlace) is currently in use
in the Austin Independent School District. The ERSG has
demonstrated favorable, albeit preliminary, results in an
uncontrolled program evaluation, which strongly suggests s that a
controlled evaluation is needed to more rigorously examine program
effects. The proposed study has two primary goals and two
exploratory aims. The primary goals are: 1. To evaluate the
effectiveness of Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG) in preventing
and reducing teen dating violence and 2. Comparing whether there is
increased healthy conflict resolution skills reported by at-risk
male and female middle and high school students supported by ERSG,
compared to at-risk students in control schools who do not receive
ERSG. The exploratory aims are: 1) To evaluate whether or not the
effectiveness of ERSG is enhanced by the presence of a universal,
school-wide prevention programs, and 2) To examine whether
participants with different characteristics respond differently to
the intervention. For example, we will determine whether outcome
for boys or girls are the same.

The non-substantive change
request for addition of a fidelity measure to be completed by the
ERSG facilitators' supervisor will increase the burden to the
facilitators' supervisor by 4 hours, but does not change the scope
of the project. The goals of the project remain the same, and the
additional fidelity measure will be used for program improvement
purposes.
