BYSTANDER PROGRAM ADOPTION & EFFICACY TO REDUCE SV-IPV IN COLLEGE COMMUNITY

 描述(由申请者提供)：在大学社区中，身体强迫性行为和约会暴力的比率仍然很高(在过去12个月(2010-2013年)，10000名女本科生中有22%的人披露了这些形式的暴力侵害女性)。旁观者干预被认为是很有希望的暴力预防战略，其独特之处在于它使所有社区成员1)认识到可能发生暴力的情况，2)学会安全和有效地干预，以降低暴力风险。根据他们的承诺，《消除校园性暴力法案》(SAVE)现在要求所有公共资助的大学提供旁观者干预。由于SAVE的政策干预需要旁观者的干预，因此出现了一项“自然实验”，以确定学生在多所大学接受旁观者培训的相对效果。我们提出了一种用分数析因分析的准实验设计来评估旁观者干预成分对减少大学社区暴力的相对有效性。绿点将是被评估的旁观者干预成分之一，因为我们小组有相当多的经验来严格评估绿点，我们最近发现，这种旁观者干预与大学和高中环境中的VAW减少20%-40%有关。目的1.比较旁观者干预的相对有效性：1)增加旁观者的效能和行为，2)降低暴力接受度，3)减少暴力受害和实施，4)提高项目成本效益。比较的三个主要旁观者群体将是：a)独家在线培训、绿点(演讲和强化旁观者培训)和其他以技能为基础的站立培训。项目效力数据将从学生调查、校园犯罪统计以及与负责选择和实施旁观者干预的大学教职员工和管理人员的调查中获得。我们将收集每所大学整整4年的数据 该项目(每年约50,000名学生。由肯塔基大学和西弗吉尼亚大学肯塔基临床和翻译科学中心提供的基础设施将支持VAW研究协调中心，以收集和分析来自24所招聘学院的所有电子数据，比较不同的旁观者干预。VAW的研究人员来自多个学科，但很少有培训计划支持这一高度相关的应用研究的不同领域。因此，我们寻求发展VAW预防研究人员的社区。研究人员社区将通过研究人员参与高校招生、调查设计、数据收集和分析而形成。目的2.确定该计划对提高VAW预防研究生产率的有效性，定义为1)提高研究技能，2)增加研究社区，以手稿提交、演示和发表为衡量标准。这一自然实验将产生对旁观者组件如何以及哪些组件起作用以防止暴力的新理解。它还将为VAW研究社区提供一个机会，以增加我们的技能集，并与我们的经验分享和帮助培养下一代VAW预防研究人员。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rates of physically forced sex to dating violence remain high in college communities (22% of 10,000 female undergraduates disclosed these forms of violence against women (VAW) in the past 12 months (2010-2013). Bystander interventions, recognized as promising violence prevention strategies, are unique in their engagement of all community members to 1) recognize situations that may become violent and 2) learn to safely and effectively intervene to reduce violence risk. Based on their promise, the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (SaVE) now requires all publicly-funded college to provide bystander intervention. With SaVE's policy intervention requiring bystander intervention, a "natural experiment" has arisen to determine the relative efficacy of students' bystander training across multiple colleges. We propose a quasi-experimental design with fractional factorials to evaluate the relative efficacy of bystander interventions components to reduce violence in college communities. Green Dot will be one of the bystander intervention components evaluated because our group has considerable experience rigorously evaluating Green Dot and we have recently found that this bystander intervention is associated with a 20-40% reduction in VAW in college and high school settings. Aim 1. Compare the relative efficacy of bystander interventions to 1) increase bystander efficacy and behaviors, 2) reduce violence acceptance, 3) reduce violence victimization and perpetration, and 4) increase program cost effectiveness. The three primary bystander groups compared will be: a) exclusively online training, Green Dot (speeches and intensive bystander training), and other skills-based by stander training. Program efficacy data will be obtained from student surveys, campus crime statistics, and surveys with college staff and administrators responsible for selecting and implementing bystander interventions. We will collect data at each college for the full 4 years of the project (~50,000 students annually. Infrastructure provided by the Kentucky Center for Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Kentucky and West Virginia University will support a VAW Research Coordinating Center for all electronic data collection and analyses from 24 recruited colleges, comparing the different bystander interventions. VAW researchers draw from multiple disciplines yet few training programs support this diverse field of highly relevant applied research. Thus, we seek to grow communities of VAW prevention researchers. Researcher communities will form through researcher' engagement with college recruitment, survey design, data collection and analyses. Aim 2. Determine the efficacy of this program to increase VAW prevention research productivity defined as 1) increasing research skills and 2) increasing research communities measured as manuscript submissions, presentations, and publications. This natural experiment will generate new understanding of how and what bystander components work to prevent violence. It will also provide the VAW research community an opportunity to increase our skill-sets and share our experiences with and help grow the next generation of VAW prevention researchers.
