5 items: levels of reported skill with key relationship behaviors (categories, 4-point scale); measured on the Healthy Relationship Behavior Scale #1 as:

1 = I am extremely good at this 2 = I am good at this 3 = I am bad at this 4 = I am extremely bad at this Lower scores indicate a higher perceived skill in healthy relationship behaviors, so the lower the rating, the better the score.

The 5 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 5 to create the construct score. The lower the score, the better the outcome.

maximum score of 4.0, minimum score of 1.0.

1B) Will participants report significantly healthier relationship behaviors one year after enrolling into the IVROP ReadyforLIFE program?

Higher scores indicate a higher perceived frequency of engaging in unhealthy relationship behaviors, so the higher the rating, the worse the score.

Reverse scoring will have the higher score always equal to showing improvement.

The 6 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 6 to create the construct score. The lower the score, the better the outcome.
