Given the high rate of dating violence between teens and associated deleterious outcomes, the need for effective prevention and early intervention programs is clear. Break the Cycle's Ending Violence curriculum, a three-class-session prevention program focused on legal issues, is evaluated here for its impact on Latino/a youth.
Tracks within large urban high schools that had at least 80% Latino/a students were randomized to immediate or delayed curriculum. Classrooms were randomly selected within tracks and individual student outcomes were assessed pre- and postintervention and six months later.
Students in intervention classrooms showed improved knowledge, less acceptance of female-on-male aggression, and enhanced perception of the helpfulness and likelihood of seeking assistance from a number of sources immediately after the program. Improved knowledge and perceived helpfulness of an attorney were maintained six months later. There were no differences in recent abusive/fearful dating experiences or violence victimization or perpetration.
The Ending Violence curriculum has an impact on teen norms, knowledge, and help-seeking proclivities that may aid in early intervention for dating violence among Latino/a students.
鉴于青少年之间约会暴力的高发率及其相关的有害后果，显然需要有效的预防和早期干预项目。在此对“打破循环”组织的“终结暴力”课程进行评估，该课程是一个为期三节课的预防项目，重点关注法律问题，评估其对拉丁裔青少年的影响。
在至少80%为拉丁裔学生的大型城市高中内，将各班级随机分为立即接受课程组或延迟接受课程组。在各班级中随机选择教室，并在干预前后及六个月后评估学生个体的结果。
干预班级的学生在课程结束后立即表现出知识有所提高，对女性对男性的攻击行为的接受度降低，并且对从多个来源寻求帮助的有用性和可能性的认知增强。六个月后，对律师的知识了解和感知有用性仍得以保持。在最近的虐待/恐惧约会经历、暴力受害或施暴方面没有差异。
“终结暴力”课程对青少年的规范、知识和寻求帮助的倾向产生影响，这可能有助于对拉丁裔学生的约会暴力进行早期干预。
