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.

项目概要 超过九分之一的儿童遭受家庭暴力，这与受害和受害有关 在他们的一生中实施多种形式的暴力。绿点 (Green Dot) 是一项旁观者干预计划 已被证明可以有效减少学校层面的暴力，但我们不知道它在学校层面的效果如何 个人层面，即遭受家庭暴力的高危青少年。这个K01项目将解决 通过评估干预措施的效果，扩大跨领域暴力预防的知识 通过对中心收集的数据进行二次分析，确定该目标人群的有效性 疾病控制与预防资助的合作协议《蓝草上的绿点》 (5U01CE001675)，该项目有两个具体目标。具体目标 1 将确定是否与家人接触 暴力削弱了绿点预防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 提高年轻人技能和人际关系的计划、政策和实践的经济效率 减少他们参与多种形式的暴力。具体目标 2 将确定是否酗酒 对暴力的态度和青少年的性别是否会调节绿点的有效性 遭受家庭暴力的青少年；它与 NCIPC 的研究重点相一致，即确定可修改的 缓冲童年逆境和攻击性行为的因素。研究成果将包括 识别可修改的风险因素，可用于定制绿点以防止未来的受害和 实施多种形式的暴力（即青少年约会暴力、性骚扰、欺凌、性暴力） 攻击、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 先进的分析技术来评估干预数据，2）应用社会流行病学原理 暴力预防。强大的导师团队包括首席导师Melinda Forthofer博士、教授和 北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校公共卫生科学系系主任，联合导师 Ann L. Coker 博士和 希瑟·布什（Heather Bush），均来自肯塔基大学。培训活动包括数据分析实践课程 与布什博士一起，进行高级统计和社会流行病学的在线和面对面课程以及出席率 在行为医学学会主办的会议和研讨会上。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，并且 提交 R01 或同等资助提案。研究结果将转化为倡导者和 通过制定和传播一份研究简报，向当地和当地政府提供可行的建议 国家利益相关者。总体而言，K01项目的成功完成将带来跨领域的长期目标 减少弱势群体的暴力预防，以及可持续、独立的研究事业。
