Evaluation of the Close to Home Program in California: Assessing the impact of community mobilization to prevent sexual violence at the individual, social network, and community levels

项目摘要 在当前的RFP和疾控中心的Stop SV战略指南中提出的两种方法是1) 促进保护免受暴力侵害的社会规范，以及2)创造保护性环境。海流 建议评估近距离居所(C2H)，这是一种社区动员SV预防模式，纳入了这两种模式 在严谨和创新的研究设计中采用的方法。社区动员以预防SV，包括 C2H模式旨在创造深刻的社会规范变化并加强保护社区 然而，很少有人对环境进行评估。我们建议通过簇匹配的方法来严格评估C2H模型 通过收集和分析社交网络、社交媒体和 社区范围内的基于学校的数据，以便为这一社区一级的有效性提供亟需的证据 防止SV的方法。考虑到社区的数量，加州准备进行这项研究是独一无二的 执行C2H，b)CDPH对能力建设的10年承诺，以支持当地实施 这一模型，以及c)CDPH与加州大学圣地亚哥分校在RPE评估方面的持续伙伴关系 性别平等与健康中心，在评估性暴力方面拥有最高水平的专业知识的中心 预防计划、社交网络科学，以及跨社交网络和社交媒体的评估规范。我们 提出一种高度创新的、多层次的C2H评估，涉及以下目标：1)开发和 与研究咨询委员会合作实施集群匹配对照设计，包括 收集加州14个不同社区的基线社交网络和社交媒体数据；2) 评估C2H模式对关于SV和SV的社会规范和社区连接的影响 通过对基线和24个月随访的社会网络数据进行纵向分析来确定发病率；以及3)扩展 目的2通过分析社区层面对SV社会规范和行为的影响，发现基于多个 社区层面的学校数据和地理编码的社交媒体数据的浪潮。拟议的研究将填补 通过评估C2H-一种有前途的社区动员SV的效果来预防SV的关键证据空白 预防模式，关于社区一级的社会规范、社区连通性(保护的一个关键因素 环境)，以及与CDC的停止SV指南一致的SV入射。建议的纵向社会 网络分析还将提供关于SV社会规范和社会规范变化扩散的第一证据 行为。这些捐款将通过装备地方、州和国家来加速防止性暴力 利益相关者拥有所需的严格和普遍的证据，以告知社区层级性行为的实施 暴力预防规划。

PROJECT ABSTRACT Two approaches promoted in the current RFP and the CDC’s STOP SV Strategies guidance are 1) Promoting Social Norms that Protect Against Violence, and 2) Creating Protective Environments. The current proposal to evaluate Close to Home (C2H), a community mobilization SV prevention model, incorporates both approaches within a rigorous and innovative research design. Community mobilization to prevent SV, including the C2H model, is designed to create deep social norms change and enhance protective community environments, yet has rarely been evaluated. We propose to rigorously evaluate the C2H model via a cluster-matched control trial across 14 diverse communities in California via collection and analyses of social network, social media and community-wide school-based data in order to provide much-needed evidence on the effectiveness of this community-level approach to prevent SV. California is uniquely poised to conduct this research given a) the number of communities implementing C2H, b) CDPH’s 10-year commitment to building capacity to support local implementation of this model, and c) CDPH’s ongoing partnership on RPE evaluation with University of California San Diego’s Center on Gender Equity and Health, a center with the highest levels of expertise in evaluation of sexual violence prevention programs, social network science, and assessing norms across social networks and social media. We propose a highly-innovative, multi-level evaluation of C2H involving the following aims: 1) Develop and implement a cluster-matched control design in partnership with the Research Advisory Board, including collecting baseline social network and social media data across 14 diverse California communities; 2) Evaluate effects of the C2H model on social norms and community connectivity regarding SV, and SV incidence via longitudinal analyses of baseline and 24-month follow-up social network data; and 3) Extend Aim 2 findings via analyses of community-level effects on SV social norms and behavior based on multiple waves of community-level school-based data and geocoded social media data. The proposed research will fill a critical evidence gap in SV prevention by evaluating effects of C2H, a promising community mobilization SV prevention model, on community-level social norms, community connectivity (a key element of protective environments), and SV incidence in accordance with CDC’s STOP SV guidance. Proposed longitudinal social network analyses will also provide the first evidence regarding diffusion of changes in SV social norms and behaviors. These contributions will accelerate prevention of sexual violence by equipping local, state and national stakeholders with the rigorous and generalizable evidence needed to inform implementation of community-level sexual violence prevention programming.
