Jkt 229001 The purpose of this request is to obtain Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to extend the data collection for A Controlled Evaluation of Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG): Preventing and Interrupting Teen Dating Violence among At-Risk Middle and High School Students (OMB No.0920–0861, Expiration 8/31/2013). CDC seeks a three-year extension in order to continue: 1) evaluating the effectiveness of Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG) in preventing and reducing teen dating violence and 2) comparing whether there are increased healthy conflict resolution skills reported by atrisk male and female middle and high school students participating in ERSG, compared to at-risk students in control schools who do not receive ERSG. The prevalence and consequences of teen dating violence make it a public health concern that requires early and effective prevention. To date, only three prevention strategies—Safe Dates, the Youth Relationships Project, and 4th R—have demonstrated reductions in dating violence behaviors in rigorous, controlled evaluations. In order to protect young people and build an evidence-base of effective prevention strategies, evaluation of additional programs is needed, including those programs currently in the field. The Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG; provided by SafePlace) program is currently being implemented in the Austin Independent School District and demonstrated promising results in an uncontrolled program evaluation, suggesting a controlled evaluation is warranted to more rigorously examine program effects. The extension request to the controlled evaluation of ERSG, which began in September 2010, has one primary aim and two exploratory aims. The primary aim is to evaluate the PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 effectiveness of ERSG to prevent and reduce teen dating violence and increase healthy conflict resolution skills reported by at-risk male and female middle and high school students compared to at-risk students in control schools who do not receive ERSG. The exploratory aims are: (1) To evaluate whether or not the effectiveness of ERSG is enhanced by the presence of a universal, school-wide prevention programs, and (2) To examine moderators and mediators of targeted and universal teen dating violence interventions, such as biological sex and history of abuse at intake. Completion of this study and examination of the primary and exploratory aims associated with it will help to fill a research gap by adding results to the evidence base regarding whether ERSG is a promising program for reducing the prevalence of teen dating violence and increasing knowledge of healthy relationship skills. The ongoing evaluation employs a quasi-experimental/non-randomized design in which a convenience sample of participants in schools receiving universal and/or targeted prevention services are compared to students in control schools in which no dating violence prevention services are available. Based on the previous two years of data collection for the ERSG evaluation, we anticipate that in the Austin Independent School District, 800 middle and high school students will undergo an intake assessment, of whom 600 at-risk students (i.e., students who indicate they have been exposed to violence in the home, community, or in dating or peer relationships) will be eligible for ERSG, of whom 400 will complete the baseline and completion assessments. Therefore, we will recruit 1,800 students (300 per year from intervention schools and 300 per year from control schools) over three waves of data collection. Of the 1,800 students recruited, we anticipate 1200 will have complete data at the end of the study period. Control schools have been selected that have characteristics (e.g., risk status, socio-economic status) similar to the Austin Independent School District intervention schools.

Background and Brief Description The National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at CDC promotes the health of babies, children, and adults with disabilities. As part of these efforts the Center is actively involved in addressing hearing loss (HL) among newborns and infants. HL is a common birth defect that affects approximately 12,000 infants each year and, when left undetected, can result in developmental delays. As awareness about infant HL increases, so does the demand for accurate information about rates of screening, referral, loss to follow-up, and prevalence. This information is important for helping to ensure infants and children are receiving recommended screening and follow-up services, documenting the occurrence of differing degrees of HL among infants, and assessing progress towards national goals. These data will also assist state Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs with quality improvement activities and provide information that will be helpful in assessing the impact of federal initiatives.

Proposed Project

A Controlled Evaluation of Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG):
Preventing and Interrupting Teen Dating Violence among At-Risk Middle
and High School Students (OMB No. 0920-0861, Expiration 8/31/2013)--
Extension--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The purpose of this request is to obtain Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval to extend the data collection for A Controlled
Evaluation of Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG): Preventing and
Interrupting Teen Dating Violence among At-Risk Middle and High School
Students (OMB No.0920-0861, Expiration 8/31/2013). CDC seeks a three-
year extension in order to continue: 1) evaluating the effectiveness of
Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG) in preventing and reducing teen
dating violence and 2) comparing whether there are increased healthy
conflict resolution skills reported by at-risk male and female middle
and high school students participating in ERSG, compared to at-risk
students in control schools who do not receive ERSG.
The prevalence and consequences of teen dating violence make it a
public health concern that requires early and effective prevention. To
date, only three prevention strategies--Safe Dates, the Youth
Relationships Project, and 4th R--have demonstrated reductions in
dating violence behaviors in rigorous, controlled evaluations. In order
to protect young people and build an evidence-base of effective
prevention strategies, evaluation of additional programs is needed,
including those programs currently in the field. The Expect Respect
Support Groups (ERSG; provided by SafePlace) program is currently being
implemented in the Austin Independent School District and demonstrated
promising results in an uncontrolled program evaluation, suggesting a
controlled evaluation is warranted to more rigorously examine program
effects.
The extension request to the controlled evaluation of ERSG, which
began in September 2010, has one primary aim and two exploratory aims.
The primary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of ERSG to prevent and
reduce teen dating violence and increase healthy conflict resolution
skills reported by at-risk male and female middle and high school
students compared to at-risk students in control schools who do not
receive ERSG. The exploratory aims are: (1) To evaluate whether or not
the effectiveness of ERSG is enhanced by the presence of a universal,
school-wide prevention programs, and (2) To examine moderators and
mediators of targeted and universal teen dating violence interventions,
such as biological sex and history of abuse at intake. Completion of
this study and examination of the primary and exploratory aims
associated with it will help to fill a research gap by adding results
to the evidence base regarding whether ERSG is a promising program for
reducing the prevalence of teen dating violence and increasing
knowledge of healthy relationship skills.
The ongoing evaluation employs a quasi-experimental/non-randomized
design in which a convenience sample of participants in schools
receiving universal and/or targeted prevention services are compared to
students in control schools in which no dating violence prevention
services are available.
Based on the previous two years of data collection for the ERSG
evaluation, we anticipate that in the Austin Independent School
District, 800 middle and high school students will undergo an intake
assessment, of whom 600 at-risk students (i.e., students who indicate
they have been exposed to violence in the home, community, or in dating
or peer relationships) will be eligible for ERSG, of whom 400 will
complete the baseline and completion assessments. Therefore, we will
recruit 1,800 students (300 per year from intervention schools and 300
per year from control schools) over three waves of data collection. Of
the 1,800 students recruited, we anticipate 1200 will have complete
data at the end of the study period. Control schools have been selected
that have characteristics (e.g., risk status, socio-economic status)
similar to the Austin Independent School District intervention schools.

Survey items collect information about emotional, physical, and
sexual peer and dating violence victimization and perpetration, use of
healthy relationship skills, relationships characteristics, peer
relationships, demographics, use of other teen dating violence
prevention services, social desirability, and attitudes toward dating
violence. These measures were developed in collaboration with
scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and (1)
are adapted from validated measures of teen dating violence, and (2)
reflect the behaviors of interest and theory of change of Expect
Respect. The Reactive Proactive Questionnaire (Raine et al., 2006) has
also been included in the instrument packet and will be used to
determine if subtype of aggression moderates response to intervention.
Participation in this study is voluntary and intrusions to the
participants' sense of privacy will be minimized by only using data
collected from students who have agreed for us to do so (through
student assent and signed distribution of passive parental consent
forms) and having the data coded in such a way to protect subjects'
confidentiality.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
