Abstract

The current study reports the results of two randomized controlled trials investigating effects of an online program (Change A Life) designed to educate individuals about children's exposure to domestic violence (DV), and to increase individuals' self-efficacy for providing support to children exposed to DV. In both a community sample (n = 110) and a college student sample (n = 146), participants who completed Change A Life, compared to those who completed a control program, reported increased knowledge about children's exposure to DV. In the community sample, but not the college student sample, those who completed Change A Life also reported increased self-efficacy for helping children exposed to DV. Neither participant sex nor history of exposure to domestic violence moderated intervention effects.
