Abstract
Dating violence is alarmingly prevalent, highlighting the need to implement efficient pre-vention strategies. The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of the multi-component SPARX program. Results showed that school staff reported greater self-efficacy in answering questions regarding positive relationships and dating violence as well as know-ing how to react when a student confides a situation of dating violence. Parents and caregivers perceived a significant increase in their abilities to discuss positive romantic relationships with their teen, in recognizing the signs that their teen might be experiencing difficulties in their re-lationship and in guiding them towards help resources. Qualitative data revealed that youth appreciated the activities of the SPARX program.
