Proposed Project 

Evaluation of Safe Dates Project— 

(OMB No. 0920–0783 exp. 6/30/2011)— 

Revision—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) 

requests a revision of this Information 

Collection Request for the Evaluation of 

the Safe Dates Project. Safe Dates is a 

research-based adolescent dating 

violence prevention program. The Safe 

Dates program includes a nine-session 

dating abuse curriculum, a play about 

dating abuse, and a poster contest. 

The current information collection 

request is approved to conduct focus 

groups and interviews about the Safe 

Dates adolescent dating violence 

prevention program. Previously 

approved were the effectiveness, 

implementation, and cost surveys with 

students, school principals, school 

prevention coordinators, and teachers at 

a mix of schools. CDC would like to add 

focus groups with students and 

interviews with teachers in the urban 

schools. Data collection staff will use 

new interview guides designed for this 

purpose. This revision is requested 

because CDC has learned additional 

information about violence and risk 

factors for adolescents in urban, highrisk communities since the original 

OMB clearance package was submitted. 

Recent research has shown that 

adolescents who live in urban, 

disadvantaged communities report 

significantly higher prevalence of some 

risky behaviors, including violence, 

than nationally representative U.S. 

adolescents (Swahn & Bossarte, 2009). 

Students and teachers in urban schools 

participating in the effectiveness, cost, 

and implementation evaluation are an 

important source of information about 

possible adaptations to the Safe Dates 

program that may be needed for urban, 

high-risk adolescents. Thus, CDC would 

like to conduct qualitative research with 

students and teachers in urban schools. 

This program has been shown to be 

effective in one rural North Carolina 

school district, but appropriateness of 

the program with urban, high-risk 

adolescents is unknown. An assessment 

of whether the Safe Dates adolescent 

dating violence prevention program 

needs modification/adaptation for 

urban, high-risk adolescents is required. 

The data collection will require 

participation from teachers at eight 

schools who delivered the Safe Dates 

program and students at one school who 

received the program. Qualitative data 

will be collected through student focus 

groups and teacher interviews. Students 

will complete a participant profile form 

to capture basic demographic 

information. 

Approximately 1,318 students will 

participate in the Effectiveness FollowUp Survey data collection, with 20 

teachers and 40 students to participate 

in interviews and focus groups, 

respectively. Informed written consent 

from parents for each student’s 

participation and informed written 

assent from tenth graders for their own 

participation will be obtained. Twenty 

teachers will participate in interviews. 

Students and teachers will be asked 

about their experiences with the Safe 

Dates program and ideas they may have 

about adapting the program for urban 

schools. 

Data collection will occur in July 

2010. Total response burden for this
