Download or read book Programs to Reduce Teen Dating Violence and Sexual Assault written by Arlene N. Weisz and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arlene Weisz and Beverly Black interview practitioners from more than fifty dating violence and sexual assault programs across the United States to provide a unique resource for effective teen dating violence prevention. Enhancing existing research with the shared wisdom of the nation's prevention community, Weisz and Black describe program goals and content, recruitment strategies, membership, structure, and community involvement in practitioners' own words. Their comprehensive approach reveals the core techniques that should be a part of any successful prevention program, including theoretical consistency, which contributes to sound content development, and peer education and youth leadership, which empower participants and keep programs relevant. Weisz and Black show that multisession programs are most useful in preventing violence and assault, because they enable participants to learn new behaviors and change entrenched attitudes. Combining single- and mixed-gender sessions, as well as steering discussions away from the assignment of blame, also yield positive results. The authors demonstrate that productive education remains sensitive to differences in culture and sexual orientation and includes experiential exercises and role-playing. Manuals help in guiding educators and improving evaluation, but they should also allow adolescents to direct the discussion. Good programs regularly address teachers and parents. Ultimately, though, Weisz and Black find that the ideal program retains prevention educators long after the apprentice stage, encouraging self-evaluation and new interventions based on the wisdom that experience brings.

Download or read book Teen Dating Violence Prevention to Healthy Relationship Education written by Anne S. Genereux and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation tells the story of how community level socio-political culture interacted with organizational dynamics to morph a teen dating violence prevention program into a healthy relationship education program. My dissertation offers a mixed-methodology case study of a teen dating violence prevention program developed and implemented in rural Montana, where communities are characterized by small, homogeneous populations with conservative political slants that pose particular challenges for prevention programs that are often viewed as progressive. To understand these dynamics, I conducted a survey of educators trained in the teen dating violence prevention curriculum and I completed semi-structured interviews with 8 program staff and 13 educators teaching the program. My analysis of program documentation and staff interviews shows that, in order to make the program more palatable to rural Montana communities, the program distanced itself from the controversial 'heavy-duty' issues it aimed to address as well as avoiding language it framed as 'negative.' By reframing the curriculum as 'healthy relationship education,' the program maintained distance from sex education and gender violence, both of which appeared more "political." While an influential Executive Director brought together a team that pursued the reframing strategy to increase program uptake, the leadership vacuum that followed her departure allowed the reframing to be pushed so far as to substantially erode the program's intended focus on teen dating violence prevention. Consequently, the program evolved from being primarily a teen dating violence prevention program that led with healthy relationship education to becoming a healthy relationship education program with virtually no discussion of peer or dating violence. My analysis of program implementation revealed educators' efforts to adapt the curriculum to suit the perceived needs of a given school or students. In particular, the curriculum has been adapted for younger and older students. Furthermore, some activities in the curriculum were seen as too young, particularly in more urban liberal areas. By contrast, some activities were seen as too old, particularly in some rural conservative areas. Despite the challenges, most educators evaluated the curriculum positively with respect to its impact on their students and the school climate. However, educators also lamented that the curriculum does not address social media, a major cause of student conflict. The findings of this study highlight the key roles of a community's socio-political context, as well as program organizational dynamics, in shaping the presentation, evolution and implementation of a teen dating violence prevention program for youth in rural Montana. Results underscore the need to explicitly consider the socio-political context of local communities in implementing prevention programs. Moreover, they point to the importance of a strong organizational vision and leadership to prevent program promotion strategies from eroding the core mission. While this study focuses explicitly on a teen dating violence prevention program, some of its lessons are more broadly applicable to other education and prevention programs that address sensitive topics. In particular, this study emphasizes the challenges of creating one-size fits all programming and it describes how educators vary in their implementation and adaptation practices. It also stresses the importance of keeping content relevant and engaging active learning strategies, especially when working with adolescents.

Download or read book Girls at Puberty written by J. Brooks-Gunn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of this volume at this time appears particularly auspi cious. Biological, psychological, and social change is greater during the pubertal years than at any other period since infancy. While the past two decades have witnessed a virtual explosion of productive research on the first years of life, until recently research on adolescence, and particularly on puberty and early adolescence, has lagged substantially behind. This book provides encouraging evidence that things are changing for the better. Considered separately, the individual chapters in this book include important contributions to our growing knowledge of the biological mechanisms involved in pubertal onset and subsequent changes, as well as of the psychological and social aspects of these changes, both as con sequences and determinants. In this regard, the book clearly benefits from the breadth of disciplines represented by the contributors, includ ing developmental endocrinology, adolescent medicine, pediatrics, psy chology, and sociology, among others.

Book excerpt: "Teen dating violence is a preventable public health problem. It requires a comprehensive community approach to stop it before it starts. Three significant gaps exist in teen dating violence prevention: Little is known about what works to prevent dating violence among youth in urban communities with high crime and economic disadvantage; Local public health agencies often are not the primary agents for dating violence prevention programming in communities; A lack of local data on teen dating violence limits communities' ability to monitor and track the problem. To address these issues, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed Dating Matters: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships, which aims to: Develop, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive approach to promote respectful, nonviolent dating relationships and decrease emotional, physical, and sexual dating violence among youth in high-risk urban communities; Build local public health capacity to implement evidence-based and evidence-informed violence prevention strategies across the social ecology; Identify and validate community level indicators of teen dating violence. Dating Matters: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships employs a comprehensive approach to violence prevention at each level of the social ecology."--Page [1].
