Proposed Project
Evaluation of Dating Matters: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen
RelationshipsTM (OMB 0920-0941, Expiration 06/30/
2015)--REVISION--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC)--Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Dating Matters: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen
RelationshipsTM is the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention's new teen dating violence prevention initiative.
To address the gaps in research and practice, CDC has developed
Dating Matters, teen dating violence prevention program that includes
programming for students, parents, educators, as well as policy
development. Dating Matters is based on the current evidence about what
works in prevention and focuses on high-risk, urban communities where
participants include: Middle school students age 11 to 14 years; middle
school parents; brand ambassadors; educators; school leadership;
program implementers; community representatives; and local health
department representatives in the following communities: Alameda
County, California; Baltimore, Maryland; Broward County, Florida; and
Chicago, Illinois.
The primary goal of this revision is to expand and add a limited
number of instruments to the approved outcome and implementation
evaluation of Dating Matters in the four metropolitan cities to
determine its feasibility, cost, and effectiveness. In the evaluation,
a standard model of TDV prevention (Safe Dates administered in 8th
grade) will be compared to a comprehensive model (programs administered
in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade as well as parent, educator, policy, and
communications interventions).
The current revision request has two aims:
(1) Request to revise follow-up outcome evaluation instruments
and drop mid-year outcome evaluation student survey, and
(2) Request to add process evaluation instruments to enhance
implementation.
Population. The study population includes students in 6th, 7th and
8th grades at 44 schools in the four participating sites. At most,
schools are expected to have 6 classrooms per grade, with an average of
30 students per classroom yielding a population of 23,760 students (44
schools x 3 grades x 6 classrooms per grade x 30 students per
classroom). All student evaluation activities will take place during
the school year. The sampling frame for parents, given that we would
only include one parent per student, is also 23,760 for the three years
of data collection covered by this package. If we assume 40 educators
per school, the sampling frame for the educator sample is 1,760.
Students: In each year of data collection, we will recruit 11,880
students (30 students per classroom x 3 classrooms per grade x 3 grades
x 44 schools). We assume a 95% participation rate (n = 11,286) for the
baseline student survey and 90% participation rate (n = 10,692) at
follow-up survey. In this revision, we request to drop the mid-term
survey to reduce burden on schools.
Parents: We will recruit a sample of 2,020 parents. We expect that
95% of the 2,020 parents will agree to participate at baseline (n =
1,919) and 90% will participate in the follow-up survey (n = 1,818)
parents.
Educators: We will attempt to recruit all educators in each school
(44 schools x 40 educators per school = 1,760). We expect a 95%
participation rate for an estimated sample of 1,672 educators at
baseline and 90% participation rate at follow-up for an estimated
sample of 1,584.
School data extractors: We will attempt to recruit one data
extractor per 44 schools to extract school data to be used in
conjunction with the outcome data for the students. Data extractors in
each school will access individual school-level data for those students
in their school who consented and participated in the baseline student
survey (3 x 4 x 30 x 95% = 342).
Implementation Evaluation
For the student focus groups, we will recruit groups of 10 students
per group. Two groups will be held per each of the 4 sites (10 x 2 x 4
= 80 total student participants).
Student implementer focus groups will be organized by site, with
two annual focus groups per site with 10 implementers in each group (10
x 2 x 4 = 80 total student program implementer participants).
Communications focus groups will be organized by site with up to
four groups
[[Page 11887]]
per site (4 x 4 x 6 = 96 total student participants).
Parent program implementer focus groups will be organized by site,
with two annual focus groups per site with 10 implementers in each
group (10 x 2 x 4 = 80 total parent program implementer participants).
School Leadership: Based on the predicted number of two school
leadership per comprehensive school (21 schools), the number of
respondents will be 42.
Local Health Department representative: Based on the predicted
number of four communities/sites and four local health department
representatives working on Dating Matters per community, the number of
respondents will be 16.
Community Advisory Board Representative: Based on the predicted
number of 20 community representatives per 4 communities/sites, the
number of respondents will be 80.
Parent Program Manager: With a maximum of one parent program
manager per community/site, the number of program manager respondents
will be 4. It is anticipated that they will receive up to 50 TA
requests per year and complete the form 50 times.
Student Program Master Trainer TA Form: With a maximum of 3 master
trainers per community. There will be 12 master trainers. It is
anticipated that they will receive up to 50 TA requests per year and
complete the form 50 times.
Parent Curricula Implementers: It is expected that each school
implementing the comprehensive approach (n = 21) will have two
implementers (or 42 parent program implementer respondents).
Please note that on the burden table the number of respondents is
multiplied by the number of sessions in each parent program.
Student Curricula Implementers: Based on the predicted number of 20
student curricula implementers per grade per site that will be
completing fidelity instruments, the total number of respondents will
be 80 per grade (20 x 4).
Brand Ambassadors: The Brand Ambassador Implementation Survey will
be provided to each brand ambassador (n = 20) in each community with a
maximum of 80 brand ambassadors.
Communications Implementers (``Brand Ambassador Coordinators''):
The Communications Campaign Tracking form will be provided to each
brand ambassador coordinator in each community. With a maximum of one
brand ambassador coordinator per community (n = 4), the feedback form
will be collected from a total of 4 brand ambassador coordinators.
Parent Program Participants: The 6th and 7th grade parent
satisfaction questionnaires will be completed by parent participating
in the parent program in each community. There is a maximum number of
parent respondents of 1,890 (18 x 5 x 21) for the 6th grade
satisfaction questionnaire and 1,890 for the 7th grade satisfaction
questionnaire.
There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are 27923.
