Summary

This project will study virtual delivery of Safe Dates for Young Parents (SDYP), a 10-session, group-based intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention program tailored for adolescents and young adults who are pregnant or parenting. This program has the potential to improve the health and well-being of young parents and their children, and virtual delivery may improve participants' ability to attend. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) Is it feasible and acceptable to implement SDYP in a virtual setting? (2) Are SDYP participants less likely to experience IPV than participants in an alternate health education program? Participants will be invited to a series of virtual program sessions for either SDYP or a health education program focused on physical activity and nutrition and will be asked to complete surveys before the programs begin and up to 6 months later.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Safe Dates for Young Parents

Safe Dates for Young Parents (SDYP) is a healthy relationship and intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention program, adapted from "Safe Dates (Foshee et al., 1998; Foshee et al., 1996)" for pregnant or parenting young adults. The investigators adapted the prevention curriculum and related intervention materials for virtual delivery via Zoom. The program consists of ten group-based sessions (50 minutes of content each) led by a trained facilitator. The program includes interactive discussions, analysis of scenarios, games, role-plays, and brainstorming.

BEHAVIORAL

HealthSmart

The HealthSmart program will use 10 digital high school curriculum lessons focused on physical activity and nutrition. The sessions will be formatted appropriately to be delivered via zoom. Participants may be asked to complete handouts, listen to presentations, and participate in discussions. Topics may include information about different nutrients, how nutrients affect health, how to read food labels, healthy eating, and guidelines for physical activity.
