这项研究评估了一个七节课，旁观者为重点，课堂交付的课程（即，引入旁观者高中课程（BITB-HSC），以降低高中生之间的人际暴力发生率。高中（N=26）被随机分配到治疗或控制条件。在治疗学校的教室里，学生（n=1081）完成了基线调查，参加了BITB-HSC，并完成了即时后测，短期后测（约100）。干预后2个月），以及长期后测试（约。干预后1年）。对照学校的青少年（n=1322）在相似的时间点完成了调查，但没有参加BITB-HSC。参与者平均年龄为15.8岁，主要是白色（85.1%）和异性恋（84.5%）。暴露于BITB-HSC的学生表现出显着的短期变化，受害者同情和旁观者的障碍/促进者，和长期的变化，强奸神话，媒体素养，旁观者的准备，和知识相对于青年在控制条件。虽然BITB-HSC对实际旁观者行为的长期影响不大，但与对照组相比，BITB-HSC组学生中某些形式的暴力行为有所减少。未来的研究需要确定是否，为谁，为什么，以及在什么情况下（例如，以课堂为基础的举措与全校范围的举措）以旁观者为重点的预防暴力举措减少了暴力。
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a seven-session, bystander-focused, classroom-delivered curriculum (i.e., Bringing in the BystanderHigh School Curriculum [BITB-HSC]) in reducing rates of interpersonal violence among high school students. High schools (N=26) were randomly assigned to the treatment or control condition. In classrooms in treatment schools, students (n=1081) completed a baseline survey, participated in the BITB-HSC, and completed an immediate post-test, a short-term post-test (approx. 2months after intervention), and a long-term post-test (approx. 1year after intervention). Youth in control schools (n=1322) completed surveys at similar time points but did not participate in the BITB-HSC. Participants were 15.8years old on average and largely White (85.1%) and heterosexual (84.5%). Students exposed to the BITB-HSC demonstrated significant short-term changes in victim empathy and bystander barriers/facilitators, and long-term changes in rape myths, media literacy, bystander readiness, and knowledge relative to youth in the control condition. Although the BITB-HSC had little long-term impact on actual bystander behavior, there were reductions in some forms of violence among students in the BITB-HSC condition relative to the control condition. Future research is needed to determine if, for whom, why, and in what contexts (e.g., classroom-based versus school-wide initiatives) bystander-focused violence prevention initiatives reduce violence.
