Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Expect Respect Support GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Experimental: Expect Respect Support Group Expect Respect is a program intended to create safe, trauma-informed space for young people who have been exposed to violence, to promote positive bystander intervention and healthy relationship skills, to alter norms that foster TDV/SV perpetration, and reduce violence perpetration through weekly support groups with students at elevated risk for such perpetration. Youth with prior history of exposure to violence are invited to in-school gender specific support groups that take place over 24 in-classroom sessions. Expect Respect addresses violence perpetration prevention with youth already exposed to violence by recognizing violence as a problem that is fueled by gender norms that promote dominance and challenging the need to control and exert power in relationships especially with the use of violence, while simultaneously strengthening emotion regulation, social skills, and connectedness.
Group II: Enhanced Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Comparator: Enhanced Usual Care The control arm will receive enhanced usual care. Enhanced care means that the investigators will ensure each school has information, resource lists, and connection to services for individual youth who are referred to the study, including warm referrals to victim service agencies, behavioral health services, as well as resources (e.g., assistance with food insecurity, and so forth).
