The purpose of this request is to
obtain Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval to extend the
data collection for A Controlled
Evaluation of Expect Respect Support
Groups (ERSG): Preventing and
Interrupting Teen Dating Violence
among At-Risk Middle and High School
Students (OMB No.0920–0861,
Expiration 8/31/2013). CDC seeks a
three-year extension in order to
continue: 1) evaluating the effectiveness
of Expect Respect Support Groups
(ERSG) in preventing and reducing teen
dating violence and 2) comparing
whether there are increased healthy
conflict resolution skills reported by atrisk male and female middle and high
school students participating in ERSG,
compared to at-risk students in control
schools who do not receive ERSG.
The prevalence and consequences of
teen dating violence make it a public
health concern that requires early and
effective prevention. To date, only three
prevention strategies—Safe Dates, the
Youth Relationships Project, and 4th
R—have demonstrated reductions in
dating violence behaviors in rigorous,
controlled evaluations. In order to
protect young people and build an
evidence-base of effective prevention
strategies, evaluation of additional
programs is needed, including those
programs currently in the field. The
Expect Respect Support Groups (ERSG;
provided by SafePlace) program is
currently being implemented in the
Austin Independent School District and
demonstrated promising results in an
uncontrolled program evaluation,
suggesting a controlled evaluation is
warranted to more rigorously examine
program effects.
The extension request to the
controlled evaluation of ERSG, which
began in September 2010, has one
primary aim and two exploratory aims.
The primary aim is to evaluate the

effectiveness of ERSG to prevent and
reduce teen dating violence and
increase healthy conflict resolution
skills reported by at-risk male and
female middle and high school students
compared to at-risk students in control
schools who do not receive ERSG. The
exploratory aims are: (1) To evaluate
whether or not the effectiveness of
ERSG is enhanced by the presence of a
universal, school-wide prevention
programs, and (2) To examine
moderators and mediators of targeted
and universal teen dating violence
interventions, such as biological sex and
history of abuse at intake. Completion of
this study and examination of the
primary and exploratory aims associated
with it will help to fill a research gap
by adding results to the evidence base
regarding whether ERSG is a promising
program for reducing the prevalence of
teen dating violence and increasing
knowledge of healthy relationship
skills.
The ongoing evaluation employs a
quasi-experimental/non-randomized
design in which a convenience sample
of participants in schools receiving
universal and/or targeted prevention
services are compared to students in
control schools in which no dating
violence prevention services are
available.
Based on the previous two years of
data collection for the ERSG evaluation,
we anticipate that in the Austin
Independent School District, 800
middle and high school students will
undergo an intake assessment, of whom
600 at-risk students (i.e., students who
indicate they have been exposed to
violence in the home, community, or in
dating or peer relationships) will be
eligible for ERSG, of whom 400 will
complete the baseline and completion
assessments. Therefore, we will recruit
1,800 students (300 per year from
intervention schools and 300 per year
from control schools) over three waves
of data collection. Of the 1,800 students
recruited, we anticipate 1200 will have
complete data at the end of the study
period. Control schools have been
selected that have characteristics (e.g.,
risk status, socio-economic status)
similar to the Austin Independent
School District intervention schools.

Survey items collect information
about emotional, physical, and sexual
peer and dating violence victimization
and perpetration, use of healthy
relationship skills, relationships
characteristics, peer relationships,
demographics, use of other teen dating
violence prevention services, social
desirability, and attitudes toward dating
violence. These measures were
developed in collaboration with
scientists at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention and (1) are
adapted from validated measures of teen
dating violence, and (2) reflect the
behaviors of interest and theory of
change of Expect Respect. The Reactive
Proactive Questionnaire (Raine et al.,
2006) has also been included in the
instrument packet and will be used to
determine if subtype of aggression
moderates response to intervention.
Participation in this study is

Background and Brief Description
The National Center on Birth Defects
and Developmental Disabilities at CDC
promotes the health of babies, children,
and adults with disabilities. As part of
these efforts the Center is actively
involved in addressing hearing loss (HL)
among newborns and infants. HL is a
common birth defect that affects
approximately 12,000 infants each year
and, when left undetected, can result in
developmental delays. As awareness
about infant HL increases, so does the
demand for accurate information about
rates of screening, referral, loss to
follow-up, and prevalence. This
information is important for helping to
ensure infants and children are
receiving recommended screening and
follow-up services, documenting the
occurrence of differing degrees of HL
among infants, and assessing progress
towards national goals. These data will
also assist state Early Hearing Detection
and Intervention (EHDI) programs with
quality improvement activities and
provide information that will be helpful
in assessing the impact of federal
initiatives. The public will be able to
