Summary

The purpose of this study was to develop and pilot test a universal school-based prevention curriculum to prevent the onset of child sexual abuse (CSA) perpetration by early adolescents against younger children.

Detailed description

The proposed Responsible Behavior with Younger Children (RBYC) curriculum was developed and pilot tested in 6th and 7th grade classes in Baltimore City Public Schools. This study had three aims: 1) to develop and refine a new classroom-based universal curriculum to prevent the onset of CSA perpetration, 2) to evaluate the immediate effects (pre-post design) of RBYC on targeted constructs, and 3) to determine the feasibility and acceptability of RBYC to youth, parents, and school personnel.
