abstract="There are few evaluations of peer-facilitated teenage dating violence prevention programs in the literature. To begin to address this gap, this project assessed the effectiveness of a school-based, peer-facilitated healthy relationships program among academically at-risk students. Two hundred and ninety-one ninth graders of mixed race and gender participated in a five-session healthy relationships program that had been adapted to address concerns of cultural relevance. <br><br>FINDINGS from analyses of variance showed that program participants made statistically significant improvements from pretest to posttest, across demographics of race and gender. <br><br>RESULTS support the value of developing culturally responsive curricula and using peer-facilitated programming to address teenage dating violence in school-based healthy relationship programs.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
