PROJECT SUMMARY More than one in nine children are exposed to family violence, which is associated with victimization by and perpetration of multiple forms of violence across their lives. Green Dot, a bystander intervention program, has been shown to effectively reduce violence at the school level, but we do not know how well it works at the individual level with the higher-risk youth who have exposure to family violence. This K01 project will address this gap and extend the knowledge of cross-cutting violence prevention by evaluating the intervention’s effectiveness with this target population through a secondary analysis of data collected as a part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded cooperative agreement Green Dot Across the Bluegrass (5U01CE001675), with two specific aims for this project. Specific Aim 1 will identify whether exposure to family violence moderates the effectiveness of Green Dot to prevent multiple forms of violence; it aligns with the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control’s (NCIPC) research priority to evaluate the effectiveness and economic efficiency of programs, policies, and practices to enhance young people’s skills and relationships that reduce their involvement in multiple forms of violence. Specific Aim 2 will identify whether binge drinking and attitudes toward violence mediate, and whether the youth’s sex moderates, the effectiveness of Green Dot among youth exposed to family violence; it aligns with the NCIPC’s research priority to identify modifiable factors that buffer against adversity and aggressive behavior in childhood. Research outcomes will include identification of modifiable risk factors that can be used to tailor Green Dot to prevent future victimization and perpetration of multiple forms of violence (i.e., teen dating violence, sexual harassment, bullying, sexual assault, and stalking). This career development project also includes two strategic objectives toward independence for an early-career researcher in the field of violence prevention: 1) develop mastery of advanced analytic techniques to evaluate intervention data, and 2) apply social epidemiological principles to violence prevention. The strong mentoring team includes primary mentor Dr. Melinda Forthofer, Professor and Chair of the Department of Public Health Sciences at UNC Charlotte, and co-mentors Dr. Ann L. Coker and Dr. Heather Bush, both from the University of Kentucky. Training activities include hands-on data analysis lessons with Dr. Bush, online and face-to-face courses in advanced statistics and social epidemiology, and attendance at a conference and workshops hosted by the Society for Behavioral Medicine. Research results will be disseminated through at least one conference presentation and one first-authored manuscript, and the submission of an R01, or equivalent, grant proposal. The findings will be translated to advocates and practitioners by developing and disseminating a research brief with actionable recommendations to local and state stakeholders. Overall, successful completion of this K01 project will lead to longer-term goals of cross- cutting violence prevention for a vulnerable population, and a sustainable, independent, research career.

项目摘要 超过九分之一的儿童遭受家庭暴力，这与受害者和 他们在生活中遭受多种形式的暴力。绿色点，一个旁观者干预计划， 已被证明可以有效地减少学校一级的暴力，但我们不知道它在学校一级的效果如何。 在个人层面，与面临家庭暴力风险的高风险青年进行比较。K 01项目将解决 这一差距，并通过评估干预措施的 通过对作为中心一部分收集的数据进行二次分析， 为疾病控制和预防提供资金的合作协议《蓝草上的绿色点》 （5 U 01 CE 001675），该项目有两个具体目标。具体目标1将确定是否暴露于家庭 暴力缓和了绿色点防止多种形式暴力的有效性;它与 国家伤害预防和控制中心（NCIPC）的研究重点是评估有效性和 提高计划、政策和实践的经济效率，以提高年轻人的技能和关系 这减少了他们参与多种形式的暴力。具体目标2将确定是否酗酒 青少年对暴力的态度及性别是否会影响绿色点的效果 暴露于家庭暴力的青少年中;它与NCIPC的研究重点一致，以确定可改变的 缓冲逆境和攻击性行为的因素。研究成果将包括 确定可用于调整绿色点以防止今后受害的可改变的风险因素， 实施多种形式的暴力（即，青少年约会暴力，性骚扰，欺凌，性 攻击和跟踪）。该职业发展项目还包括两个战略目标， 暴力预防领域的早期职业研究人员的独立性：1）掌握 先进的分析技术，以评估干预数据，2）应用社会流行病学原则， 预防暴力。强大的指导团队包括主要导师梅林达·福瑟蒂博士，教授和 北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校公共卫生科学系主任和联合导师Ann L.博士。Coker和Dr. 石楠布什，都来自肯塔基州大学。培训活动包括实际操作的数据分析课程 与布什博士，在线和面对面的课程，在先进的统计学和社会流行病学，并出席 在行为医学协会主办的一次会议和研讨会上。研究成果将 通过至少一次会议演讲和一份第一作者手稿传播， 提交R 01或同等级别的赠款提案。调查结果将被翻译给倡导者， 制定和传播研究简报，并向当地和 国家利益攸关方。总的来说，成功完成K 01项目将实现跨部门的长期目标， 减少对弱势群体的暴力预防，以及可持续的，独立的研究事业。
