Abstract

Survey questions were designed to address areas targeted by the Fourth R curriculum (dating violence, peer violence/bullying, drug and alcohol use, safe sex behavior) and were drawn from the original Fourth R evaluation (Wolfe et al. 2009) and a variety of other sources. The final survey instrument was developed through a collaborative process, including feedback from research staff, Start Strong Bronx staff, and the creators of the Fourth R curriculum. Survey questions were vetted for age-appropriate language and comprehension by staff at the Center for Court Innovation, who regularly work with middle-school students.The survey consisted of 41 questions, including many multi-item questions. The reference period used was "since the beginning of the school year," which generally reflects a one- to two-month period. The baseline survey administered Sept-Oct 2011. Two follow up surveys included the same questions but added a question re: whether the student had previously participated in the Fourth R program. In addition, reference point for follow-up surveys was three months. Follow-up surveys were administered May-June 2012 (T1) and May-June 2013 (T2). (Author Abstract).
