Proposed Project
Evaluation of Safe Dates Project--(OMB No. 0920-0783 exp. 6/30/
2011)--Revision--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Safe Dates, a dating violence prevention curriculum for 8th and 9th
grade students, has been shown to be effective at preventing
victimization and perpetration of teen dating violence in one rural
North Carolina school district, but appropriateness of the program with
urban, high-risk adolescents is unknown. CDC has learned additional
information about violence and risk factors for adolescents in urban,
high-risk communities since the original OMB clearance package was
submitted. Recent research also has shown that adolescents who live in
urban, disadvantaged communities report significantly higher prevalence
of some risky behaviors, including violence, than nationally
representative U.S. adolescents (Swahn & Bossarte, 2009). To assess
whether Safe Dates should be modified for urban, high-risk adolescents,
CDC requests OMB approval to conduct focus groups with students and
interviews with teachers at urban schools in the 2010-2011 school year.
Data collection staff will use new interview guides designed for this
purpose. The data collection will require participation from teachers
at eight schools who delivered the Safe Dates program and students at
one school who received the program. Qualitative data will be collected
through student focus groups and teacher interviews. Students will
complete a participant profile form to capture basic demographic
information. Approximately 40 students at one school will participate
in focus groups. Two focus groups will consist of 8-10 boys, and two
focus groups will include 8-10 girls. Informed written consent from
parents for each student's participation and informed written assent
from tenth graders for their own participation will be obtained. Twenty
teachers will participate in interviews. Students and teachers will be
asked about their experiences with the Safe Dates program and ideas
they may have about adapting the program for urban schools.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 14,193.
