About this study

The purpose of this three year study is to develop and evaluate Me & You - Tech, a computer-based healthy relationships and dating violence prevention curriculum for 6th grade students. The curriculum will be developed and adapted from an existing effective healthy relationship curriculum, Me & You: Building Healthy Relationships. A randomized two-arm design will be conducted among 6th grade students, where students receiving the curriculum were compared to students receiving usual care. Four middle schools participated in the study, 2 schools were randomly assigned to receive the curriculum and two to receive usual care. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 3 months following completion of the intervention, and 9 months after baseline. Parental permission and student assent were obtained prior to administration of the surveys. The primary hypothesis is that students who receive the curriculum will have significantly lower teen dating violence perpetration than those who do not receive the curriculum.

Treatment and study plan

Me & You - Tech

Behavioral

The 13 MYT lessons will train youth to adopt a zero tolerance approach to dating violence (DV) and contain activities to enable youth to recognize healthy (non-abusive) and unhealthy (abusive) relationships, assess their own relationships, and adopt and practice a lifestyle paradigm of select-detect-protect informed by SCT self-regulatory frameworks. Within this lifestyle paradigm, youth select their personal rules to have only healthy (non-abusive) relationships, detect unhealthy (abusive) relationships that might threaten their rules, and learn to protect their rules using communication, management, and avoidance skills. MYT will tailor content by gender, relationship status, and the youth's DV profile of perpetration or victimization based on the Conflict in Adolescent Dating and Relationship Inventory (CADRI).
