Injury is a leading cause of adolescent deaths, with risk-taking associated with a sizeable proportion of injuries and many of those risks undertaken in the presence of peers or with peers' knowledge. Novel ways to promote safety are required and using the peer-relationship may be an important mechanism for prevention. This study reports on the implementation evaluation of the Skills for Preventing Injury in Youth (SPIY) program. SPIY is a high-school program designed to reduce injury by encouraging peers to look out for one another and prevent risk-taking, complemented by developing peer helping and first aid skills as well as school connectedness. 152 students and 12 teachers who delivered SPIY participated in separate 30 min focus groups and reported on students' understanding of peer protective behaviour and the program implementation (adherence, dose, quality of program delivery, and participant responsiveness). Students reported on many approaches to protecting friends and both students and teachers reported they found the program interesting, interactive, and able to be delivered. Peer protection messages were relevant and acceptable to teachers and students in a risk-taking harm reduction program to reduce adolescent injury.
伤害是导致青少年死亡的主要原因，冒险行为与相当一部分伤害有关，而许多风险是在同伴在场或同伴知晓的情况下发生的。需要寻找新的方法来促进安全，利用同伴关系可能是预防的一个重要机制。本研究报告了青少年伤害预防技能（SPIY）项目的实施评估。SPIY 是一个高中项目，旨在通过鼓励同伴相互照顾和预防冒险行为来减少伤害，同时培养同伴帮助和急救技能以及与学校的联系。152 名学生和 12 名教授 SPIY 的教师参加了 30 分钟的焦点小组讨论，报告了学生对同伴保护行为的理解以及项目实施情况（依从性、剂量、项目交付质量和参与者反应性）。学生们报告了许多保护朋友的方法，学生和教师都报告说他们觉得这个项目有趣、互动，并且能够实施。在减少青少年伤害的冒险行为减少风险计划中，同伴保护信息对教师和学生来说是相关且可接受的。
