 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): ABSTRACT The present research advances the science of sexual assault prevention research by rigorously evaluating two theoretically-driven, multi-session sexual assault prevention programs for high school boys with different administration approaches: (1) Your Voice Your View, developed and currently administered in Rhode Island high schools by the CDC RPE-funded agency Day One of Rhode Island; and (2) The High School Workshop, adapted from the Men's Workshop, which was previously evaluated among college men by members of this research team. Our approach to this efficacy research is not only rigorous, but also novel; exemplifying how mutually beneficial partnerships between well-established researchers and community agencies advance the science of sexual assault prevention by enhancing the capacity of community agencies to conduct rigorous program evaluations and enriching the ability of researchers to develop interventions that are sustainable outside of a laboratory setting. In the Refinement and Planning Phase, we will refine the program manuals through informant interviews, focus groups, stakeholder interviews, establishment of a Research Advisory Board, and administration of a small open pilot trial. An online survey will also be conducted to gather social norms data, and The High School Workshop will be adapted to be feasible and sustainable in a high school setting. In order to consistently administer Your Voice Your View in the context of this research design, the program will be further manualized, training manuals will be produced, and measures assessing the fidelity of program administration (i.e., adherence/competence measures) will be developed. In the Intervention Phase, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial with a sample of 1200 10th grade boys to demonstrate efficacy of each intervention in reducing rates of sexual aggression, dating violence involvement, and related risk/protective factors over a 6-month follow-up relative to a dose- and attention-matched General Health Promotion control group. At least six schools will be matched on demographic characteristics (i.e., % receiving subsidized lunch, racial/ethnic minority enrollment) then randomized to receive Your Voice Your View (N = 400), the High School Workshop (N = 400), or General Health Promotion (N = 400). In the Analysis and Dissemination Phase, we will conduct additional stakeholder interviews (N = 12), analyze study data, conduct cost-effectiveness analyses, prepare project reports, and share study findings with the schools as well as the local and national scientific communities. By addressing the weaknesses of both the community-based prevention program (i.e., lacking rigorous evaluation) and the research-based prevention program (i.e., lacking real-world applicability), testing both programs in comparison to a dose-and attention-matched control group, and conducting a preliminary examination of the differential efficacy of the two interventions, the results of this research will make a significant contribution to the evidence base for preventing sexual aggression among high school boys. The knowledge, infrastructure and experience provided to the community agency and research team as a result of conducting the present research will also enhance the capacities of both parties to more effectively integrate research and practice in future sexual assault prevention work.

 描述（由申请人提供）：摘要本研究通过严格评估两个以理论为驱动的、针对高中男生的多阶段性侵犯预防项目，采用不同的管理方法，推进了性侵犯预防研究的科学发展：(1) 你的声音你的观点，目前由 CDC RPE 资助的机构 Day One of Rhode Island 开发并在罗德岛州高中进行管理；以及 (2) 高中研讨会，改编自男子研讨会，该研讨会之前由本研究成员在大学生中进行了评估；团队.我们的这项功效研究的方法不仅严谨，而且新颖；例证了成熟的研究人员和社区机构之间的互利伙伴关系如何通过增强社区机构进行严格的项目评估的能力和丰富的能力来推进性侵犯预防的科学。的研究人员制定在实验室环境之外可持续的干预措施 在细化和规划阶段，我们将通过知情者访谈、焦点小组、利益相关者访谈、建立研究顾问委员会和管理小型开放活动来完善项目手册。一项在线调查。还将收集社会规范数据，并且高中研讨会将进行调整，使其在高中环境中可行和可持续。为了在本研究设计的背景下始终如一地管理“你的声音你的观点”，该计划将被修改。进一步手册化，将制作培训手册，并制定评估项目管理忠诚度的措施（即依从性/能力措施）。在干预阶段，我们将以 1200 名 10 年级男孩为样本进行随机对照试验。展示功效相对于剂量和注意力匹配的一般健康促进对照组，在为期 6 个月的随访中，每项干预措施在降低性侵犯率、约会暴力参与和相关风险/保护因素方面的效果 至少将匹配六所学校。然后随机接受“你的声音你的观点”(N = 400)、“高中研讨会”(N = 400) 或“一般健康促进”(N =在分析和传播阶段，我们将进行额外的利益相关者访谈（N = 12），分析研究数据，进行成本效益分析，准备项目报告，并与学校以及地方和国家分享研究结果。通过解决基于社区的预防计划（即缺乏严格的评估）和基于研究的预防计划（即缺乏现实世界的适用性）的弱点，与剂量和剂量进行比较来测试这两个计划。注意力匹配的对照组，并对两种干预措施的差异功效进行初步检验，这项研究的结果将为预防高中男生性侵犯的证据基础提供重要的知识、基础设施和经验。本研究的成果也将增强双方在未来性侵犯预防工作中更有效地将研究和实践结合起来的能力。
