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

    Safe Dates, a dating violence prevention curriculum for 8th and 9th 
grade students, has been shown to be effective at preventing 
victimization and perpetration of teen dating violence in one rural 
North Carolina school district, but appropriateness of the program with 
urban, high-risk adolescents is unknown. CDC has learned additional 
information about violence and risk factors for adolescents in urban, 
high-risk communities since the original OMB clearance package was 
submitted. Recent research also 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). To assess 
whether Safe Dates should be modified for urban, high-risk adolescents, 
CDC requests OMB approval to conduct focus groups with students and 
interviews with teachers at urban schools in the 2010-2011 school year. 
Data collection staff will use new interview guides designed for this 
purpose. 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 40 students at one school will participate 
in focus groups. Two focus groups will consist of 8-10 boys, and two 
focus groups will include 8-10 girls. 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.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 14,193.
