Proposed Project

    Evaluation of Dating Matters: Strategies To Promote Healthy Teen 
RelationshipsTM--New--National Center for Injury Prevention 
and Control--Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

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.
    Recently, efforts to prevent teen dating violence have grown, 
particularly in schools, among policymakers, and among sexual violence 
and domestic violence coalitions. Now many states and communities also 
are working to stop teen dating violence. However, these activities 
vary greatly in quality and effectiveness. To address the gaps, CDC has 
developed Dating Matters, a comprehensive teen dating violence 
prevention program based on the current evidence about what works in 
prevention.
    Dating Matters 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 four high-risk urban communities. The 
primary goal of the current proposal is to conduct an outcome and 
implementation evaluation of Dating Matters in four metropolitan cities 
to determine its feasibility, cost, and effectiveness. Within each city 
12 schools will implement the two models of teen dating violence 
prevention (48 schools total over 4 sites). Our burden estimates are 
based on each school having 600 students, with 200 students per grade 
(6th, 7th, and 8th grades). Therefore the sampling frame for this data 
collection is 48,000 for the three years of data collection covered by 
this OMB package (5 cohorts of 200 students each in 48 schools; 5 x 200 
x 48). The 5 cohorts will be students who are in 6th, 7th and 8th grade 
in year 1 of data collection, students in 6th grade in years 2 and 3 of 
data collection. That means the sampling frame for parents, given that 
we would only include one parent per student, is also 48,000 for the 
three years of data collection covered by this package. Based on our 
research and consultation with middle schools, most schools with 
approximately 600 students have approximately 40 staff. If we assume 40 
educators per school, the sampling frame for the educator sample is 
1,920. The following are explanations of estimated burden by 
respondent.
    Students: We will use random selection to identify a subsample of 
students from each cohort from each school to participate in the 
evaluation. We estimate that we will enroll 40 students per cohort per 
school, for a total of 1,920 students per grade and 9,600 for the 
entire sample of 5 cohorts covered under this OMB package.
    Parents: We will recruit all parents participating in the parent 
curricula and select an equal number of parents from the standard of 
care schools to serve as a matched comparison group. We will enroll 40 
parents per grade per school, with 1920 parents per grade, so 5,760 
parents per year.
    Educators: We expect that 85% of all educators will participate. 
With an estimated 40 educators per 48 schools (1920 total), 85% is 1632 
educators.
    School data extractors: We will recruit one data extractor per each 
school (48 extractors total) to extract school data to be used in 
conjunction with the outcome data for the students. Individual level 
school data will only be collected for students participating in the 
evaluation, so this data will reflect the same sampling frame as the 
student survey data.
    School leadership: We will recruit one school leadership (e.g., 
principal, vice principal) per 48 schools, the number of respondents 
will be 48.
    Local Health Department representative: We will recruit four local 
health department representatives working on the initiative per 
community, the number of respondents will be 16.
    Parent Program Manager: With a maximum of one parent program 
manager per community, the number of program manager respondents will 
be 4.
    Community Representative: We will recruit 10 community 
representatives per site, the number of respondents will be 40.
    Parent Curricula Implementers: Each school/neighborhood 
implementing the comprehensive approach will have one male and one 
female parent implementing the parent programs with six comprehensive 
school/neighborhood clusters per community plus one additional pair per 
site (will fill-in as needed), respondents will be (2x7x4) 56 
implementers.
    Student Curricula Implementers: We will have six student curricula 
implementers per school that will be completing fidelity instruments, 
the total number of respondents will be 288.
    Safe Dates Implementers: We will have 3 Safe Dates implementers per 
the 48 schools, who will implement the 8th grade Safe Dates program, 
the number of respondents for the Safe Dates implementer survey will be 
144.
    Brand Ambassadors: The Brand Ambassador Implementation Survey will 
be provided to each brand ambassador in each community. With a maximum 
of 20 brand ambassadors per community, the feedback form will be 
collected from a total of 80 brand ambassadors.
    Communications Implementers (``Brand Ambassador Coordinators''): 
The Communications Campaign Tracking form will be provided to each

[[Page 49490]]

brand ambassador coordinator in each community. With a maximum of one 
brand ambassador coordinator per community, the feedback form will be 
collected from a total of 4 brand ambassador coordinators.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
