Project STRONG: A web-based dating violence prevention program for parents and middle school boys Dating violence first emerges in early adolescence and is associated with negative impacts including declines in academic performance, mental health, and psychosocial functioning. Despite broad calls for primary prevention, few programs with demonstrated efficacy exist. Further, the vast majority of existing programs are designed to be delivered in small mixed-gender groups and do not capitalize on the importance of parents in modeling and influencing the choices their child makes in their future romantic relationships. Further, there is a dearth of programs designed specifically for males despite growing research that has identified gender differences in risk factors for DV. To address these gaps, STRONG was developed as a web-based intervention for early adolescent males and their parent/guardian to complete together. The curriculum is grounded in Developmental Assets Theory which asserts that family support, knowledge, values development, and social skills are necessary for healthy development and offset the emergence of risk behavior. The curriculum is also informed by the DV literature which suggests that emotion regulation and communication skills are key mechanisms involved in DV behaviors. STRONG has been previously piloted with parent-son dyads (7th and 8th grade males) and demonstrates promising impact on key outcomes and target mechanisms. The proposed project builds on these initial findings by testing the efficacy of STRONG with a sample of 340 parent-son dyads on the primary outcome of adolescent self-reported dating violence. We will also evaluate the impact on other violence-related measures (e.g., attitudes, aggression, discipline problems, other risk behaviors) as well as on the proposed mediators of these effects, emotion regulation and parent-adolescent communication. We will implement a Hybrid 1 design that expands upon our efficacy trial by exploring critical factors involved in future dissemination of the program, such as challenges to implementation and cost considerations. By testing the efficacy of STRONG in tandem with future dissemination questions, we are able to shorten the time-lag often observed in bringing evidence-based interventions to the community.

STRONG 项目：针对家长和中学的基于网络的约会暴力预防计划 男孩们 约会暴力首先出现在青春期早期，并与包括衰退在内的负面影响相关 学习成绩、心理健康和心理社会功能。尽管广泛呼吁初级 预防方面，很少有已证明有效的方案。此外，绝大多数现有计划都是 旨在以小型混合性别小组的形式进行教学，并且没有充分利用父母在孩子中的重要性 塑造并影响孩子在未来的恋爱关系中做出的选择。此外，还有一个 尽管越来越多的研究已经确定了性别，但缺乏专门为男性设计的项目 DV 危险因素的差异。为了弥补这些差距，STRONG 被开发为基于网络的 对青春期早期男性及其父母/监护人的干预需要共同完成。课程大纲是 以发展资产理论为基础，该理论主张家庭支持、知识、价值观发展、 社交技能是健康发展所必需的，可以抵消风险行为的出现。这 DV 文献也为课程提供了信息，该文献表明情绪调节和沟通 技能是家庭暴力行为的关键机制。 STRONG 之前曾与亲子进行过试点 两人（七年级和八年级男生）并展示了对关键结果和目标机制的有希望的影响。 拟议项目以这些初步发现为基础，通过 340 个样本测试 STRONG 的功效 亲子二人对青少年自我报告的约会暴力主要结果的影响。我们也会评估 对其他暴力相关措施的影响（例如态度、攻击性、纪律问题、其他风险 行为）以及这些影响的拟议调解因素、情绪调节和父母-青少年 沟通。我们将实施 Hybrid 1 设计，通过探索关键的功能来扩展我们的功效试验 未来传播该计划所涉及的因素，例如实施方面的挑战和成本 考虑因素。通过测试 STRONG 的功效以及未来的传播问题，我们能够 缩短向社区提供循证干预措施时经常出现的时间滞后。
