项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research is urgently needed to rigorously test a skills-based intervention for dating violence prevention among juvenile justice girls. Court-involved, non-incarcerated (CINI) girls represent a particularly high-risk group for dating violenc exposure. This is due to the multiple risk factors they possess that have demonstrated associations with teen dating violence outcomes in other high-risk adolescent female populations. Despite the critical need for these young women to learn strategies that offset their heightened risk for involvement in coercive romantic relationships, no such evidence-based interventions exist for this population. The goal of the current study is to establish the efficacyof Date SMART (K23MH086328), a theoretically-driven skills-based intervention, in reducing dating violence, sexual risk behavior, and delinquency among girls in the juvenile justice system. Pilot data reveal that girls randomized to the Date SMART intervention spend significantly fewer days in violent relationships compared to girls randomized to the comparison condition. They also show improvements in condom use at last sex and reductions in delinquency. Moreover, the risk profile of adolescent girls who participated in the pilot trial is remarkably similar to the profile of adolescent girls involved in the juvenile justice system. Thus Date SMART is uniquely suited for CINI girls. Despite the promise of Date SMART, the time lag from pilot testing to efficacy testing and final dissemination activities is protracted, as researchers fail to consider questions of effectiveness early on. Hybrid designs that retain core components of efficacy trials (randomization, controlled conditions) and essential elements of effectiveness research (e.g., participant diversity; standardized training procedures, attention to cost) can reduce time to implementation in the "real world." As such, we plan to test the efficacy of Date SMART on dating violence, sexual risk, and delinquency among 250 court-involved, non-incarcerated girls. We will also gather effectiveness data from key stakeholders to determine how best to implement the program, train staff, and predict the cost of the program within the juvenile court. CINI girls, ages 14-17 (N= 12 juveniles for Phase I Intervention Run-Through; N=250 for Phase II RCT study) will be recruited from the Rhode Island Family Court and Probation Departments and randomized to either the Date SMART (active) intervention (n=125) or a Health Promotion (control) condition (n=125). In Phase I (12 juveniles will be recruited to complete the Intervention Run-Through and research assessment once to allow testing of RCT intervention and assessment procedures prior to the RCT phase. In Phase II, 250 juveniles will be recruited and randomized at baseline and then re-assessed at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month post-intervention follow-ups.

描述（由适用提供）：迫切需要进行研究，以严格测试基于技能的干预措施，以预防少年司法女孩的暴力。涉及法院的，非囚禁（CINI）的女孩代表了一个特别高风险的群体，该群体约会暴露于暴露。这是由于他们拥有的多种危险因素证明了与其他高风险青少年女性人口中的青少年约会暴力结果的关联。尽管这些年轻妇女的迫切需要学习策略，以抵消其参与强制性浪漫关系的高风险，但对于该人群，没有这种基于证据的干预措施。当前研究的目的是建立有效性日期SMART（K23MH086328），这是一种基于理论驱动的技能干预措施，以减少少年司法系统中女孩的约会暴力，性风险行为和犯罪。飞行员数据显示，与随机分配给比较条件的女孩相比，智能干预的日期随机到智能干预日期的违规关系少得多。他们还显示出避孕套使用的改善，并减少了犯罪。此外，参加试点试验的青春期女孩的风险概况与参与青少年司法系统的青少年女孩的形象非常相似。那个日期智能非常适合Cini Girls。尽管有聪明的日期，但由于研究人员未能尽早考虑有效性问题，因此从试点测试到有效性测试和最终传播活动的时间滞后是持久的。保留有效试验核心组成部分（随机化，受控条件）和有效性研究的基本要素（例如，参与者多样性；标准化培训程序，注意，注意成本）可以减少在“现实世界”中实施的时间。因此，我们计划测试250名涉及法院，非囚犯的女孩对约会暴力，性风险和犯罪的有效性。我们还将从主要利益相关者那里收集有效性数据，以确定如何最好地实施该计划，培训员工并预测少年法院内计划的成本。 Cini Girls，年龄在14-17岁（I期干预措施的n = 12名少年；对于II期RCT研究的n = 250）将从罗德岛家族法院和缓刑部门招募，并随机分配至日期智能（主动）干预（n = 125）或健康促进（控制）条件（控制）条件（n = 125）。在第一阶段（将招募12名少年以完成干预术和研究评估，以允许在RCT阶段之前测试RCT干预和评估程序。在II阶段，将在基线时招募和随机分组250名少年，然后在3、6、6、6、6、9和12个月后重新评估，并在IN-9，9和12个月后进行访问后的后续访问。
