ABSTRACT Youth violence is a significant public health concern as over 20% report being in a fight, 19% reported bullying someone, and 16% reported weapon carriage. Racism is associated with aggression and violence against racial minorities and may operate to propagate interracial mistrust, fear, hostility, and violence. Racism effects youth violence both as a stressor leading to violence and as a structural factor resulting in more exposure to community-level risk factors. The purpose of this study is to adapt and test an evidence-based youth violence prevention program for middle-school students called Youth Empowerment Solutions (YES) to empower youth to address racism and racial discrimination as a way to reduce of violent behavior. YES for Engaging Youth for anti-Racism And Cultural Equity (YES-ERACE) will focus on middle school students because this is a developmental period when independence from parents begin, their own ideas about interpersonal relationships are formative, and when bullying behavior is at its peak. Empowering children to address violence at this critical developmental period may enable them to resist negative attitudes and behaviors, such as racial prejudice and racism. Working with an advisory board of experts and youth, we will integrate the Teaching Tolerance (TT) curriculum from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) into the existing YES curriculum. We will test YES-ERACE using a group-randomized trial design in summer programs across 6 middle schools in Genesee County, Michigan. We will examine the effects of the curriculum on individual youths' sense of empowerment, racist behaviors, and violent behavior. We will also evaluate the revisions of the curriculum through testing specific modules and obtaining feedback from youth and school staff. Finally, we will examine both dose and sustainability of YES-ERACE effects. Our specific aims are: 1) adapt the YES curriculum to include the Teaching Tolerance curriculum and study the adaptation and implementation process for the new curriculum; 2) test the efficacy of the YES-ERACE curriculum in a randomized design on empowered outcomes which will mediate the effects of YES-ERACE on perpetration of racist attitudes and behavior; 3) test the efficacy of the YES-ERACE curriculum on a model that predicts empowered outcomes will mediate perpetration of racism, and that YES-ERACE effects on aggressive and violent behavior (especially those motivated by racism) will also be mediated by reducing perpetration of racism over time and; 4) study the effects of dose received and sustainability of change on the outcomes from AIMS 2 and 3.

抽象的 青少年暴力是一个重要的公共卫生问题，超过 20% 的人报告称自己曾打架，19% 的人报告称遭受过欺凌 16% 的人报告携带武器。种族主义与针对他人的侵略和暴力有关 少数族裔，并可能散布种族间的不信任、恐惧、敌意和暴力。种族主义影响 青少年暴力既是导致暴力的压力源，又是导致更多接触暴力的结构性因素 社区层面的风险因素。本研究的目的是调整和测试基于证据的青少年暴力 名为“青年赋权解决方案”(YES) 的中学生预防计划，旨在赋予青年权力 解决种族主义和种族歧视问题，以此减少暴力行为。是的，让年轻人参与 反种族主义和文化公平（YES-ERACE）将重点关注中学生，因为这是一个 开始脱离父母独立的发展时期，他们对人际交往有自己的想法 当欺凌行为达到顶峰时，关系正在形成。赋予儿童解决暴力问题的能力 在这个关键的发展时期可能使他们能够抵制消极的态度和行为，例如种族歧视 偏见和种族主义。我们将与专家和青年顾问委员会合作，整合教学 宽容 (TT) 课程从南方贫困法律中心 (SPLC) 纳入现有的 YES 课程。我们 将在 6 所中学的暑期项目中使用分组随机试验设计来测试 YES-ERACE 密歇根州杰纳西县。我们将研究课程对个别青少年的感觉的影响 赋权、种族主义行为和暴力行为。我们还将评估课程的修订 通过测试特定模块并获取青少年和学校工作人员的反馈。最后，我们将检查 YES-ERACE 效果的剂量和可持续性。我们的具体目标是：1）调整 YES 课程以适应 包括教学宽容课程并研究新课程的适应和实施过程 课程; 2) 在授权的随机设计中测试 YES-ERACE 课程的有效性 调解 YES-ERACE 对种族主义态度和行为的影响的结果； 3）测试 YES-ERACE 课程在预测赋权结果将调解的模型上的功效 种族主义的实施，以及 YES-ERACE 对攻击性和暴力行为（尤其是那些行为）的影响 出于种族主义的动机）也将通过随着时间的推移减少种族主义的发生而得到调解； 4）研究 接受的剂量和变化的可持续性对 AIMS 2 和 3 结果的影响。
