The National Youth Victimization Prevention Study interviewed a representative sample of 2,000 U.S. children and their caretakers about the children's experience with child abuse and victimization prevention programs. Two-thirds of the children reported being exposed to at least one program at some time, 37% within the last year. Programs that gave children a chance to practice, that prompted discussions with parents, and that included information on dealing with bullies were more likely to result in utilization of the program skills. Although satisfaction levels were generally high for all groups, girls, black children, and children from lower socioeconomic status families, as well as their parents, had more positive reactions and reported more skill utilization. Some children did report, and their parents confirmed, more worry about abuse and fear of adults. However, the children with increased worry and fear were also the children who themselves and their parents reported the most positive feelings about the programs and the most skill utilization. This suggests that the level of worry and fear induced by the programs was appropriate to the subject.
全国青少年受害预防研究对2000名美国儿童及其监护人进行了抽样调查，询问了这些儿童在遭受虐待以及参与受害预防项目方面的经历。三分之二的儿童报告称曾在某个时候至少接触过一个项目，其中37%的儿童在过去一年中接触过。那些能让儿童有机会进行实践、促使儿童与家长展开讨论并包含应对欺凌相关信息的项目，更有可能使项目技能得到运用。尽管所有群体的满意度普遍较高，但女孩、黑人儿童、来自社会经济地位较低家庭的儿童及其父母有更积极的反应，且报告称技能运用更多。一些儿童确实表示，并且他们的父母也证实，他们对虐待更加担忧，对成年人也更害怕。然而，那些担忧和恐惧有所增加的儿童，也是那些自己和父母对项目感受最为积极且技能运用最多的儿童。这表明这些项目引发的担忧和恐惧程度与主题是相符的。
