DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Intimate partner violence (IPV), including violence in dating relationships (dating violence, DV) is a widespread and serious public health problem. Among U.S. female IPV survivors, 47.1% report their first abusive relationship occurred at college age (age 18-24). Similarly, in national surveys, adults respondents 18-24 years of age report the highest rate of stalking victimization, most commonly by a former intimate partner. Safety planning is the most widely used intervention to prevent and respond to DV/IPV, yet the vast majority of abused women never access safety planning services. Our challenge is to increase college women's access and use of safety planning, with the opportunity to consider their unique safety priorities and level of danger during and when ending an abusive relationship. In addition, while "bystander" interventions that train peers to safely intervene hav been shown to be effective in sexual assault prevention on campus, and college women in abusive relationships most frequently disclose DV/IPV to a friend, no similar interventions have been tested with friends for DV/IPV response on campuses. Therefore, the objective of the 5-year study is to evaluate the: 1) effectiveness of an interactive, personalized safety decision application ("App"), called iPlan, intervention in Maryland and Oregon with: 1) college women (age 18-24) who experience DV/IPV and 2) friends (age 18-24) of women experiencing DV/IPV. The iPlan App allows the user to enter information on: a) relationship health; b) safety priorities and c) severity of violence/danger in relationship. The App then uses the information to provide the user with a personalized safety plan with links to campus/local resources; and 2) dissemination of the iPlan App in partnership with the One Love Foundation, a national advocacy organization, in an expanded four states (Arizona, Maryland, Missouri, and Oregon) to determine the reach, adoption, implementation and maintenance of App use among university/college students. Our study will address the paucity of evidence that exists on how to disseminate effective safety interventions to prevent and respond to DV/IPV on large and diverse university/college campuses. Despite the significant evidence of negative health and social outcomes of DV/IPV across the lifespan, and the complex priorities that influence safety for college women and friends, little is known about what interventions are most effective and what dissemination approaches are best suited to prevent and respond to DV/IPV university/college campuses. The findings from the study will begin to address this paucity of evidence and assist in implementation of national DV/IPV safety interventions.

描述（由申请人提供）：亲密伴侣暴力（IPV），包括约会关系中的暴力（约会暴力，DV）是一个广泛而严重的公共卫生问题。在美国女性 IPV 幸存者中，47.1% 的人表示她们的第一次虐待关系发生在大学时期（18-24 岁）。同样，在全国调查中，18-24 岁的成年受访者报告的跟踪受害率最高，最常见的是前亲密伴侣。安全规划是预防和应对家庭暴力/IPV 最广泛使用的干预措施，但绝大多数受虐待妇女从未获得安全规划服务。我们面临的挑战是增加女大学生获得和使用安全计划的机会，并有机会考虑她们独特的安全优先事项以及在结束虐待关系期间和结束时的危险程度。此外，虽然训练同伴安全干预的“旁观者”干预措施已被证明可以有效预防校园性侵犯，而且处于虐待关系中的女大学生最常向朋友透露 DV/IPV，但尚未针对朋友在校园中的 DV/IPV 反应测试类似的干预措施。因此，这项为期 5 年的研究的目标是评估：1) 名为 iPlan 的交互式个性化安全决策应用程序（“App”）的有效性，该应用程序在马里兰州和俄勒冈州干预：1) 经历过 DV/IPV 的大学女性（18-24 岁）和 2) 经历过 DV/IPV 的女性的朋友（18-24 岁）。 iPlan 应用程序允许用户输入以下信息： a) 关系健康状况； b) 安全优先事项和 c) 关系中暴力/危险的严重程度。然后，该应用程序使用这些信息为用户提供个性化的安全计划，并链接到校园/当地资源； 2) 与国家倡导组织 One Love Foundation 合作，在扩大的四个州（亚利桑那州、马里兰州、密苏里州和俄勒冈州）传播 iPlan 应用程序，以确定大学/学院学生应用程序使用的覆盖范围、采用、实施和维护。我们的研究将解决如何在大型和多样化的大学/学院传播有效的安全干预措施以预防和应对 DV/IPV 的证据不足的问题。尽管有大量证据表明家庭暴力/IPV 在整个生命周期中对健康和社会造成负面影响，而且影响大学女性和朋友安全的复杂优先事项，但对于哪些干预措施最有效以及哪些传播方法最适合预防和应对大学/学院校园家庭暴力/IPV 仍知之甚少。该研究的结果将开始解决证据不足的问题，并协助实施国家 DV/IPV 安全干预措施。
