Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 737R0xhm. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : This study determined 4-year postintervention effects of Safe Dates on dating violence, booster effects, and moderators of the program effects. Methods : We gathered baseline data in 10 schools that were randomly allocated to a treatment condition. We collected follow-up data 1 month after the program and then yearly thereafter for 4 years. Between the 2-and 3-year follow-ups, a randomly selected half of treatment adolescents received a booster. Results : Compared with controls, adolescents receiving Safe Dates reported significantly less physical, serious physical, and sexual dating violence perpetration and victimization 4 years after the program. The booster did not improve the effectiveness of Safe Dates. Conclusions : Safe Dates shows promise for preventing dating violence but the booster should not be used. |
