Objectives

This meta-analysis examines the efficacy of programs at increasing knowledge about dating violence, changing attitudes, increasing bystander behaviors, and reducing incidents of dating violence perpetration and victimization.

Methods

A systematic search yielded 38 studies contributing 73 independent effect sizes. Studies were pooled by outcome measure and ten moderators were used to examine the impacts of program and study characteristics.

Results

Prevention programs had a significant, positive impact on measures of knowledge (ES = 0.566, z = 3.59), attitudes (ES = 0.191, z = 3.88), and violence perpetration (ES = .157, z = 3.11), but did not significantly impact experiences of victimization or bystander behaviors.

Conclusions

Results indicate that dating violence prevention programs are effective at improving knowledge, attitudes, and some behaviors, providing support for the continued implementation of these programs with adolescent populations. Future research should investigate the impact of specific program content and long-term behavioral outcomes.

检查青少年约会暴力预防计划的效果：系统评价和荟萃分析

目标

这项荟萃分析检查了程序在增加关于约会暴力，改变态度，增加旁观者行为以及减少约会暴力行为和受害事件方面的功效。

方法

系统搜索产生了38个研究，贡献了73个独立的效应量。通过结果测量汇总研究，并使用十位主持人检查计划和研究特征的影响。

结果

预防计划对知识测度（ES = 0.566，z  = 3.59），态度（ES = 0.191，z  = 3.88）和暴力行为（ES = .157，z  = 3.11）产生重大积极影响，但没有显着影响受害或旁观者行为的经历。

结论

结果表明，约会暴力预防计划可以有效地提高知识，态度和某些行为，为在青少年人群中继续实施这些计划提供支持。未来的研究应调查特定计划内容和长期行为结果的影响。
