Proposed Project

    Evaluation of Dating Matters[supreg]: Strategies to Promote Healthy 
Teen Relationships--Revision (OMB# 0920-0941, expiration date 5/30/
2016)--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking a 
revision request that will enable continued longitudinal follow-up for 
CDC's teen dating violence (TDV) prevention initiative, Dating 
Matters[supreg]: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships. 
Approval of this revision request will

[[Page 1191]]

allow us to continue to assess the effectiveness of the CDC-developed 
comprehensive approach to TDV for longer-term follow-up as the students 
in our sample age and their engagement in dating relationships 
increases. The current evaluation of Dating Matters[supreg] tests a 
comprehensive approach to prevent TDV among youth in high-risk urban 
communities. In order to address gaps in effective prevention 
programming for youth in urban communities with high crime and economic 
disadvantage, who may be at highest risk for TDV perpetration and 
victimization, Dating Matters[supreg] focuses on middle school youth 
with universal primary prevention strategies aimed at building a 
foundation of healthy relationship skills before dating and/or TDV is 
initiated.
    All data collected as part of this request will be used in the 
longitudinal outcome evaluation of the Dating Matters[supreg] 
initiative. No teen dating violence comprehensive program has been 
developed and implemented specifically for high risk urban communities. 
Further, no other data source exists to examine the effectiveness of 
the Dating Matters[supreg] initiative for preventing dating violence. 
The evaluation utilizes a cluster randomized design in which 46 schools 
in four funded communities (Alameda County, California; Baltimore, 
Maryland; Broward County, Florida; and, Chicago, Illinois), were 
randomized to either Dating Matters[supreg] or standard practice.
    CDC seeks to continue evaluation activities in these four 
communities. Therefore, this data collection is critical to understand 
the effectiveness, feasibility, and cost of Dating Matters[supreg] and 
to inform decisions about disseminating the program to other 
communities.
    OMB approval is requested for three years for this revision. The 
only cost to respondents will be time spent on responding to the 
survey. A total of 4,399 respondents will be approached on an annual 
basis with an average estimated burden of 45/60 minutes per respondent 
per year (3,299 burden hours).
