ABSTRACT The goal of this 3 year Fast-Track STTR is to develop and evaluate a multi-level (youth, parent, school) Internet-based dating violence (DV) prevention program, ‘Me & You-Tech’ (MYT) for 6th--grade middle school students. By 6th grade, approximately 50% of students will have engaged in a dating relationship. Of these, almost one-third will have perpetrated physical DV and almost two-thirds will have perpetrated emotional DV. Youth exposed to DV are more likely to perform poorly in school, experience difficulties in future relationships, participate in adult violence, and experience depression, suicidal ideation, bullying, substance use, and risky sexual behavior. Many U.S. states are required by law to provide DV education. However, youth exposure to DV education, in particular, effective programs, is minimal and the few programs available are confronted with challenges of school-based barriers to fidelity, training, and resources. The study comprises 2 phases and 10 specific aims: Phase 1: Develop the theoretically- and empirically- based MYT prototype and test feasibility (Mos.1-12). Phase 1 Specific Aims: 1.1 Conduct a content analysis of existing Me & You and SSS intervention matrices to identify required core content, methods, and strategies for MYT design (youth-, parent-, and school-level components); 1.2 Conduct review of MYT concepts and wireframes to test acceptability and perceived feasibility for use in the context of the school by School, Youth, and Parent Advisory Groups to inform MYT design (youth, parent-, and school-level components); 1.3 Develop MYT design documents and develop the prototype including alpha testing; 1.4 Test usability of MYT prototype; 1.5 Evaluate (pilot-test) the MYT prototype for feasibility and perceived value in school and home settings and review with distribution collaborator (ETR Inc.) for optimal specifications for dissemination; 1.6 Disseminate Phase 1 findings (Phase 1 report and peer reviewed publications). Phase 2: Develop MYT informed from Phase 1 and conduct a RCT to evaluate impact of MYT (Mos. 13-36). Phase 2 Specific Aims: 2.1 Revise MYT design documents (based on Phase 1 data) and obtain advisory group sign-off; 2.2 Develop the full theoretically- and empirically-based MYT program; 2.3 Test full MYT program functionality and content (alpha test), and usability; 2.4 Conduct a RCT of MYT 6th- grade students (n=300) in 4 Houston middle schools; 2.5 Review MYT distribution plans with collaborator ETR Inc.; 2.6 Disseminate Phase 2 findings of Phase 2 report and peer reviewed publications. The 3 primary hypotheses are: Compared to those not receiving MYT, youth who access MYT will demonstrate significantly: 1. Reduced DV (emotional, physical, or sexual) perpetration; 2. Reduced DV (emotional, physical, or sexual) victimization; and 3. Improved psychosocial determinants related to healthy/unhealthy dating relationships (e.g., knowledge, skills, self-efficacy, attitudes and norms, gender role beliefs, perceived parental and school factors). MYT addresses a call for innovative theory-based programs that use a social-ecological approach to DV, involving youth, their family, and their school while leveraging internet-based channels to optimize program fidelity and minimizing training, resources, and costs that limit adoption and scale-up in school settings. This project is founded on previous RCTs by this experienced collaborative investigative team on developing and testing successful middle school multi-component interventions. Me & You…Building Healthy Relationships (Me & You), a DV curriculum comprising classroom and computer-based lessons for youth, parental-child home-based activities, and school staff trainings, resulted in reduced DV perpetration and positive psychosocial outcomes related to norms towards violence, attitudes towards sexting, conflict resolution skills. The Secret of Seven Stones (SSS), an Internet-based pregnancy prevention game for parents and youth resulted in enhanced parent-youth communication regarding healthy relationships through text-based behavioral cues. Based on this strong empirical precedent, a completely Internet-based version of Me & You is proposed that leverages the strengths of these school- and home-based approaches. The specific aims of this study are to: MYT is significant because it addresses an important public health challenge to build youth skills for respectful dating relationships void of violence, to train school staff in providing supportive and protective environments to achieve this, and to enhance parent-youth discussion to reinforce the importance of healthy relationships. MYT is innovative because it will provide evidence in using an integrated multi-component socio-ecological approach to enhancing healthy relationships that uses a scalable technology-based channel to overcome the barriers of fidelity, resources, and cost of dissemination in school settings and provides a scalable solution to what is a dearth of readily disseminated evidence-based TDV programs and will provide.

摘要 这个为期3年的快速通道STTR的目标是制定和评估一个多层次（青年，家长，学校） 基于互联网的约会暴力（DV）预防方案，"我和你-技术"（MYT），为六年级的中学 学生到六年级，大约50%的学生将从事约会关系。其中， 近三分之一的人会犯下身体上的DV，近三分之二的人会犯下情感上的DV。 接触家庭暴力的青少年更有可能在学校表现不佳，在未来的关系中遇到困难， 参与成人暴力，并经历抑郁，自杀意念，欺凌，物质使用和风险 性行为美国许多州的法律要求提供家庭暴力教育。然而，年轻人接触 家庭暴力教育，特别是有效的方案，是最低限度的，现有的几个方案面临着 基于学校的忠诚，培训和资源的障碍的挑战。 该研究包括两个阶段和10个具体目标：第一阶段：从理论和经验上发展- 基于MYT原型和测试可行性（Mos.1 - 12）。第1阶段具体目标：1.1进行内容分析 现有的我和你和SSS干预矩阵，以确定所需的核心内容，方法和战略 用于MYT设计（青少年、家长和学校层面的部分）; 1.2对MYT概念进行审查，并 线框图，以测试学校，青年， 和家长咨询小组，为MYT的设计提供信息（青年、家长和学校一级的组成部分）; MYT设计文档和开发原型包括alpha测试; 1.4测试MYT原型的可用性; 1.5评估（试点测试）MYT原型在学校和家庭环境中的可行性和感知价值， 与分销合作商（ETR Inc.）一起审查1.6传播 1期研究结果（1期报告和同行评审出版物）。第2阶段：制定MYT， 1期，并进行随机对照试验，以评估MYT的影响（Mos. 13 - 36）。第2阶段具体目标：2.1修订MYT 设计文件（基于第1阶段数据）并获得咨询小组的签核; 2.2制定完整的 基于理论和实践的MYT计划; 2.3测试完整的MYT计划功能和内容（alpha 2.4对休斯顿4所中学的MYT六年级学生（n = 300）进行随机对照试验; 与合作者ETR Inc.一起审查MYT分销计划; 2.6传播II期报告的II期结果 和同行评审的出版物。 三个主要假设是：与那些没有接受MYT的人相比，接受MYT的年轻人将 主要表现为：1。减少DV（情感，身体或性）犯罪; 2。减少DV （情感，身体或性）受害;和3。改善与以下方面有关的社会心理决定因素： 健康/不健康的约会关系（例如，知识、技能、自我效能、态度和规范、性别角色 （1）父母和学校的因素）。 MYT致力于呼吁创新的理论为基础的计划，使用社会生态的方法来家庭暴力， 让青少年、他们的家庭和他们的学校参与进来，同时利用基于互联网的渠道来优化计划 忠诚度和最大限度地减少培训，资源和成本，限制采用和扩大在学校设置。这 该项目是建立在以前的随机对照试验，由这个经验丰富的合作调查团队开发 并测试成功的中学多成分干预措施。我和你.建立健康 关系（我和你），一个家庭暴力课程，包括教室和基于计算机的青年课程， 亲子家庭活动和学校工作人员培训减少了家庭暴力的发生， 与暴力规范、对性短信的态度、冲突解决有关的积极心理社会结果 skills.七块石头的秘密（SSS），一个基于互联网的父母和青少年怀孕预防游戏 通过短信，加强了父母与青少年之间关于健康关系的沟通， 行为线索基于这一强有力的经验先例，一个完全基于互联网的《我和你》版本是 建议利用这些学校和家庭为基础的方法的优势。具体目标是 研究目的是： MYT意义重大，因为它解决了一个重要的公共卫生挑战，即培养青年的技能， 尊重没有暴力的约会关系，培训学校工作人员提供支持和保护 环境，以实现这一目标，并加强家长与青年的讨论，以加强健康的重要性， 关系。MYT是创新的，因为它将提供证据，在使用一个综合的多组件 社会生态学方法，使用可扩展的基于技术的渠道来增强健康的关系 克服在学校环境中传播的忠实度、资源和成本的障碍，并提供一个 可扩展的解决方案，什么是一个容易传播的循证TDV计划的缺乏，并将提供。
