Brief Summary

Girls in the juvenile justice system are at high risk for dating violence exposure as well as co-occurring problems with delinquency and sexual risk taking. Despite the multitude of negative outcomes associated with dating violence, no evidence-based preventive interventions exist for juvenile justice girls. This study will advance scientific knowledge by testing the efficacy of a promising, skills-based intervention (Date SMART) on reducing dating violence, delinquency and sexual risk outcomes for a broad range of court-involved, non-incarcerated girls.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Dating Violence Perpetration and Victimization from Baseline to 3 months

    Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) assesses abuse perpetration and victimization with a current or recent dating partner. The CADRI has strong internal consistency (total α = .83) and 2-week test retest reliability, r = .68, p \< .01, as well as acceptable partner agreement (r = .64, p \< .01) on the basis of 35 couples. At baseline, participants will be asked about the prevalence of DV over the lifetime and the past 3 months. For all other time points, we will assess the past 3 months.
