Evaluation of an Empowerment Self-Defense Program Among Middle School Youth on a Rural Reservation
tests, confidence in resisting an attacker and knowledge of effective self-defense skills increased. In addition, emotional awareness and commitment to education/career success increased. There were no observed changes in connection to culture, depressive symptoms, or in two out of three domains of empowerment; one domain of empowerment (self-love) decreased. These promising findings shed light on additional outcomes, such as emotional awareness …
Measures to Assess Efficacy of Family‐Based Programs for Indigenous Populations
To rigorously evaluate family-based prevention programs, there is need for culturally appropriate, valid, and reliable evaluation measures; few have been validated for use with Indigenous children and families. Our first aim was to adapt family and individual functioning measures for use with Indigenous families to evaluate family-based prevention programming. Our second aim was to examine the factor structure of the adapted measures. Our third a…

Diffusion effects of a sexual violence prevention program leveraging youth–adult partnerships
The purpose of the current study was to examine the diffusion effects of a youth‐led sexual violence prevention program (i.e., Youth Voices in Prevention [Youth VIP]). Specifically, social network analysis was used to measure the extent to which Youth VIP changed behaviors for 1172 middle and high school youth who did not attend program events but were friends with Youth VIP participants and completed the first and final survey (approximately 2 y…
Using photovoice to understand and amplify youth voices to prevent sexual and relationship violence
AIMS: Efforts to improve prevention of sexual and relationship violence (SRV) among adolescents call for more centering of youth voices, experiences, and skills to design prevention programs that incorporate youth engagement rather than those that are designed by adults for youth. Amplifying the voices of historically marginalized youth are especially needed. Photovoice (PV) is a participatory action method that can empower youth and generate pre…
Using intergenerational photovoice to understand family strengths among Native American children and their caregivers
The purpose of the current study was to examine Native American children and caregivers' perspectives of family and cultural strengths using photovoice and to identify lessons learned from the first‐ever implementation of intergenerational photovoice with Native Americans. Participants were Native American, low‐income caregivers ( n = 6) and their children ( n = 12) between the ages of 10 and 15 who participated in six photovoice sessions. The th…
Use of Social Network Analysis to Identify Popular Opinion Leaders for a Youth-Led Sexual Violence Prevention Initiative
In the current article, we describe an innovative sexual violence (SV) prevention initiative that used social network analysis to identify youth and adult popular opinion leaders who were subsequently trained in best practices in SV prevention (e.g., bystander intervention) at a kickoff event (i.e., camp) of the initiative. We provide information on recruitment strategies, participation rates and how those rates varied by some demographic factors…
