 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): ABSTRACT The present research advances the science of sexual assault prevention research by rigorously evaluating two theoretically-driven, multi-session sexual assault prevention programs for high school boys with different administration approaches: (1) Your Voice Your View, developed and currently administered in Rhode Island high schools by the CDC RPE-funded agency Day One of Rhode Island; and (2) The High School Workshop, adapted from the Men's Workshop, which was previously evaluated among college men by members of this research team. Our approach to this efficacy research is not only rigorous, but also novel; exemplifying how mutually beneficial partnerships between well-established researchers and community agencies advance the science of sexual assault prevention by enhancing the capacity of community agencies to conduct rigorous program evaluations and enriching the ability of researchers to develop interventions that are sustainable outside of a laboratory setting. In the Refinement and Planning Phase, we will refine the program manuals through informant interviews, focus groups, stakeholder interviews, establishment of a Research Advisory Board, and administration of a small open pilot trial. An online survey will also be conducted to gather social norms data, and The High School Workshop will be adapted to be feasible and sustainable in a high school setting. In order to consistently administer Your Voice Your View in the context of this research design, the program will be further manualized, training manuals will be produced, and measures assessing the fidelity of program administration (i.e., adherence/competence measures) will be developed. In the Intervention Phase, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial with a sample of 1200 10th grade boys to demonstrate efficacy of each intervention in reducing rates of sexual aggression, dating violence involvement, and related risk/protective factors over a 6-month follow-up relative to a dose- and attention-matched General Health Promotion control group. At least six schools will be matched on demographic characteristics (i.e., % receiving subsidized lunch, racial/ethnic minority enrollment) then randomized to receive Your Voice Your View (N = 400), the High School Workshop (N = 400), or General Health Promotion (N = 400). In the Analysis and Dissemination Phase, we will conduct additional stakeholder interviews (N = 12), analyze study data, conduct cost-effectiveness analyses, prepare project reports, and share study findings with the schools as well as the local and national scientific communities. By addressing the weaknesses of both the community-based prevention program (i.e., lacking rigorous evaluation) and the research-based prevention program (i.e., lacking real-world applicability), testing both programs in comparison to a dose-and attention-matched control group, and conducting a preliminary examination of the differential efficacy of the two interventions, the results of this research will make a significant contribution to the evidence base for preventing sexual aggression among high school boys. The knowledge, infrastructure and experience provided to the community agency and research team as a result of conducting the present research will also enhance the capacities of both parties to more effectively integrate research and practice in future sexual assault prevention work.

 描述（由申请人提供）：摘要本研究通过严格评估两个理论驱动的、针对高中男生的多阶段性侵犯预防方案，推进了性侵犯预防研究的科学：（1）你的声音你的观点，由CDC RPE资助的机构罗得岛的第一天在罗得岛高中开发和管理;（2）高中工作坊，改编自男性工作坊，该研究小组的成员先前在大学男性中进行了评估。我们对这种功效研究的方法不仅严格，而且新颖;举例说明了完善的研究人员和社区机构之间的互利伙伴关系如何通过提高社区机构进行严格的项目评估的能力和丰富研究人员开发实验室环境外可持续干预措施的能力来推进性侵犯预防科学。在完善和规划阶段，我们将通过知情人访谈、焦点小组、利益相关者访谈、建立研究咨询委员会和管理小型开放试点试验来完善项目手册。还将进行在线调查，以收集社会规范数据，高中讲习班将进行调整，使其在高中环境中可行和可持续。为了在本研究设计的背景下始终如一地管理你的声音你的观点，该计划将进一步手册化，将制作培训手册，并评估计划管理的保真度（即，遵守/能力措施）。在干预阶段，我们将对1200名10年级男孩进行随机对照试验，以证明每种干预措施在降低性侵犯率、约会暴力参与率和相关风险/保护因素方面的有效性，相对于剂量和注意力匹配的一般健康促进对照组，随访6个月。至少有六所学校将根据人口特征进行匹配（即，%接受补贴午餐，种族/少数民族入学），然后随机接受你的声音你的观点（N = 400），高中研讨会（N = 400），或一般健康促进（N = 400）。在分析和传播阶段，我们将进行额外的利益相关者访谈（N = 12），分析研究数据，进行成本效益分析，编写项目报告，并与学校以及当地和国家科学界分享研究结果。通过解决以社区为基础的预防方案（即，缺乏严格的评估）和基于研究的预防计划（即，缺乏现实世界的适用性），测试这两个程序相比，剂量和注意力匹配的控制组，并进行初步检查的差异功效的两种干预措施，这项研究的结果将作出重大贡献的证据基础，防止高中男生的性侵犯。通过开展目前的研究，向社区机构和研究小组提供的知识、基础设施和经验也将提高双方的能力，以便在今后的性攻击预防工作中更有效地结合研究和实践。
