Evaluation of the Effect of the BOAT® Structured Prevention Program on Violence in Middle Schools

Обзор

Violence has major consequences for the health and development of children and teenagers, even though it is commonplace, particularly in secondary schools. The team at the Centre Ressources pour les Intervenants auprès d'Auteurs de Violences Sexuelles Languedoc-Roussillon (CRIAVS-LR, CHU Montpellier) has created a BOite A ouTils to prevent sexual and gender-based violence: the BOAT, for professionals working with children and teenagers aged between 5 and 18. Structured around 5 themes and 4 age groups, the BOAT is very easy to use. The 134 intervention sheets have been validated and designed to target a risk factor (to be reduced) or a protective factor (to be developed) so that children do not become perpetrators or victims of violence.

Подробное описание

The study will involve 60 middle school (10 middle school REP/REP+ in six academies) over four consecutive school years between 2023 and 2027, the first year being devoted to preparing the study with the establishment. The research project is coordinated by the Montpellier University Hospital, and regulatory approvals have been sought from the relevant authorities.
