What is being tested?

This trial evaluates the effectiveness of WiseGuyz, a program that educates young males about healthy relationships and gender roles to prevent dating violence. The study uses a mixed-methods approach comparing participants with a matched group not in the program.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since WiseGuyz is an educational intervention rather than a medical treatment, it does not have physical side effects. However, participants may experience changes in beliefs and attitudes regarding gender roles and relationships.
