Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a multi-level (youth, parent, school) Internet-based dating violence prevention program, 'Me \& You-Tech' (MYT) for 6th-grade middle school students.

Conditions

  • Adolescent Behavior
  • Interpersonal Relations
  • Domestic Violence
  • Physical Violence

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Me & You - Tech

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).
