Rates of childhood sexual abuse are unacceptably high, with potentially long-lasting consequences for those who have been victimized. Currently, there are a number of sexual violence prevention programs that have been developed to lower rates of victimization, increase awareness, and connect victims with resources. Within this area of research, there has been less focus on effective methods of program dissemination. For example, school-based sexual violence prevention programs have had positive outcomes; however, little is known about how these programs are disseminated. The train-the-trainer model of dissemination utilizes master trainers to equip others to implement programs, thereby allowing more adults to teach and subsequently more children to receive the program. This study used survey data from teachers and other school personnel (n = 127) to analyze the utility of a train-the-trainer model of dissemination for a sexual violence prevention program in the state of Hawai'i. Through responses of people who were trained to implement the program (59.8% of whom did implement), aspects of the training, the program itself, and factors affecting whether a person implemented the program were explored. Results suggest that time spent in training, job position, and time in that position predicted whether a person trained to implement the sexual violence prevention program followed through with teaching the program to students. Additionally, 54.7% of people who did implement the program had at least one student disclose sexual violence to them, indicating the importance of sexual violence prevention programming and dissemination of these programs.
儿童性虐待的发生率高得令人无法接受，对于那些受害者来说，可能会产生长期的后果。目前，已经开发了许多性暴力预防计划，以降低受害率、提高认识，并为受害者提供资源。在这一研究领域，对于计划传播的有效方法的关注较少。例如，基于学校的性暴力预防计划已经产生了积极的结果；然而，对于这些计划是如何传播的，人们知之甚少。传播的培训师模式利用主培训师来培训其他人实施计划，从而使更多的成年人能够教授，更多的孩子能够接受该计划。本研究使用了来自夏威夷州教师和其他学校人员（n=127）的调查数据，分析了培训师模式在性暴力预防计划传播中的效用。通过对那些接受培训以实施该计划的人的回应（其中 59.8%的人确实实施了该计划），探讨了培训、计划本身以及影响一个人实施该计划的因素。结果表明，培训时间、职位和任职时间预测了接受性暴力预防培训计划培训的人是否会继续向学生教授该计划。此外，54.7%的实施该计划的人至少有一名学生向他们披露了性暴力，这表明性暴力预防计划的重要性以及这些计划的传播。
