“…As noted throughout, previous investigations using the parent data have focused on school-level analyses, as Green Dot is conceptualized as a community-level intervention designed to increase bystander behaviors among those trained, which will then be utilized among their peers to reduce interpersonal violence (Cook-Craig et al, 2014). However, as previously demonstrated, Green Dot also works to reduce violence acceptance (Coker et al, 2018(Coker et al, , 2020, which mediates the relationship between the intervention and violence outcomes (Bush et al, 2019). Because previous investigations using Green Dot data within high schools have focused on the school-level data, there has not been an investigation into amount of training received by individuals, and how this may influence violence acceptance and violence outcomes among individuals.…”

Youth who witness parental intimate partner violence (IPV) are at increased risk of teen dating violence (DV). This analysis of secondary data investigated whether a bystander intervention program, Green Dot, was effective at reducing physical and psychological DV victimization and perpetration among youth who had and had not previously witnessed parental IPV. The parent RCT assigned 13 schools to control and 13 schools to the Green Dot intervention. Responses from 71,797 individual surveys that were completed by high school students were analyzed across three phases of a 5-year cluster randomized control trial. Multigroup path analyses revealed that students in intervention schools who witnessed parental IPV had a reduction in psychological (p < .001) and physical DV (p < .01) perpetration and psychological DV victimization (p < .01) in Phase 2 of the intervention, while those who did not witness parental IPV had a significant reduction in psychological DV victimization (p < .01). Individuals in the intervention received more training (p < .001), which was associated with lower levels of violence acceptance (p < .001). Violence acceptance was positively associated with DV victimization and perpetration (p < .001), especially for individuals who previously witnessed parental IPV. Green Dot is an effective program at reducing DV victimization and perpetration among the high-risk group of youth who previously witnessed parental IPV, largely operating through violence acceptance norms. This underscores the bystander intervention approach as both a targeted and universal prevention program.

“…Coker and colleagues conducted a school-level intervention, and individual race/ethnic information was not included in the manuscript. However, a previously published paper reported that the sample included predominantly white (84.8%) high school youth (Coker et al, 2017), whereas Rudinski and Wesche's samples (Rudzinski et al, 2019;Wesche et al, 2021) Rudzinski et al, 2019;and Green Dot Program;Coker et al, 2020) and one victimization/perpetration prevention primary intervention (Wesche et al, 2021).

Background. Sexual minority youth (SMY) are disproportionately impacted by teen dating violence (TDV). However, current interventions do not address the distinct needs of SMY. Culturally safe and effective TDV prevention interventions targeted to SMY are needed. The purpose of this review is to (1) examine TDV interventions that are inclusive of SMY and (2) determine the effectiveness of the interventions in terms of both knowledge and behavioral changes.Methods. A scoping review was conducted and includes studies that met the following inclusion criteria: (1) evaluated a TDV prevention program,(2) included participants who identify as lesbian/gay, bisexual, unsure, or queer; (3) reported outcomes for SMY; and (4) were published in the English language. The Effective Public Health Project Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies and Garrard Matrix Method were employed to critically evaluate articles and synthesize findings.Results. A comprehensive search was conducted using five electronic databases that revealed 878 articles. Three articles were included in this review. Findings revealed that culturally targeted interventions improved dating violence knowledge and decreased the acceptance of sexual violence from pre-post intervention. However, current interventions have limited impact on behavioral outcomes among SMY. Moreover, quality assessments revealed that existing interventions were either weak or moderate, highlighting the need for additional research and culturally targeted TDV interventions.Discussion/Conclusion. Implications for future intervention development regarding measurement, recruiting and community partnership, institutional review board issues, improving behavioral outcomes, addressing unique risk factors, cultural targeting, intervention design, and methodological approaches are described.

“…Although community violence as a general topic has recently received increased public attention, the socio-political complexities of community violence, especially in urban ethnic minority settings, have not been fully integrated into mainstream programming nor general public knowledge and, thus, still require special public attention (Degruy, 2017 ; Farmer et al, 2006 ; Lipscomb et al, 2019 ; Oliver, 2001 ; Spencer & Perlow, 2018 ). The chronic underlying factors of racism, discrimination, poverty, police brutality, and other historic structural inequities continue contributing to community violence among low-income urban minority populations (Aymer, 2016 ; Calvert et al, 2020 ; Santiago-Rivera et al, 2016 ), and raising general awareness about the detrimental daily impacts—despite notions of a “post-racial society”—accompanied by suggested progressive responses and strategies that can help reduce or prevent continued systemic problems (Edberg et al, 2017 ) parallels other public anti-violence messaging involved with “bystander campaigns” and “#MeToo movement” (Coker et al, 2020 ). Consequently, trauma-informed program trainings that integrate special emphases on the distinct social, political, and economic factors contributing to community violence and related adversities among racial, ethnic, religious, and other minority groups may maximize program suitability and impact (Aymer, 2016 ; Comas-Díaz, 2016 ; Degruy, 2017 ; Lipscomb & Ashley, 2018 ; Rich, 2016 ).…”

Contemporary community violence has escalated into a national public health crisis with urban youth, particularly ethnic minorities, suffering disproportionate negative impacts. The Urban Youth Trauma Center (UYTC) promotes a trauma-informed continuum of prevention-to-intervention services that combines community-based and clinic-based manualized protocols designed to reduce and prevent community violence for youth and families. Based on a socio-ecological model, UYTC has the main goals of addressing community violence and related traumatic stress as well as co-occurring conditions of substance abuse and disruptive behavior problems in urban youth by: (1) raising public awareness; (2) disseminating specialized trauma-informed training; and (3) mobilizing service system coalitions. UYTC employs this evidence-based yet flexible structure for disseminating, implementing, and evaluating trauma-informed training as a means of contributing to the reduction and prevention of community violence for low-income urban minority youth and families who bear the biggest burden of this current crisis.
