School programs preventing adolescent sexual harassment can improve by integrating evidence-based theories with practical experience. Involving parents in development and participation is also recommended for greater effectiveness.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Adolescent Health
- Intervention Development
Background:
- School-based programs for preventing adolescent sexual harassment often lack evidence-based approaches and theoretical foundations.
- Stakeholder involvement is frequently insufficient in the development of such programs.
- This study retrospectively evaluates two early Dutch school-based sexual harassment prevention programs using the Intervention Mapping framework.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the development process of two school-based sexual harassment prevention programs.
- To assess the application of the Intervention Mapping framework in retrospect.
- To identify areas for improvement in the development of similar interventions.
Main Methods:
- Desk research on program context and content.
- Semi-structured interviews with program developers, guided by the Intervention Mapping (IM) framework.
- Data validation against a planning tool based on 19 tasks within the six IM steps.
Main Results:
- Both programs, though practice-based, incorporated aspects of behavior-change theories despite lacking a strong theoretical foundation.
- The 'Benzies & Batchies' program developers met more planning criteria and used more change methods than 'Boys' developers.
- Intervention development showed room for improvement in theoretical grounding and systematic planning.
Conclusions:
- Involving parents in the development and delivery of sex and relationship education programs is recommended.
- Enhanced understanding of the Intervention Mapping framework's steps is crucial for developers.
- Combining evidence-based theories with practice-based experience is key to improving intervention development and effectiveness.
