abstract="Youth violence is of public health and social concern. A South African cluster randomized trial (434 grade 10 students, 16 schools), used the Integrated Model for  Behavior Change conceptual framework to implement a 20 module classroom-based  intervention program. The study contributes to the literature and used a strong  analytical technique since mixed effects linear regression assessed the impact of  the intervention on physical violence endpoints and other socioeconomic  confounders/factors. The intervention reduced students' experiencing physical  violence compared to controls and social pressure for this, yet no differences were  found for hitting others. Our results support findings that school programs against  violence can reduce students' experience of physical violence, but translation of  these findings to reduce the actual hitting of others may need further approaches  and/or more time.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
