BACKGROUND
Sexual violence poses as a significant issue among youth, particularly within high school-aged adolescents. Nationally representative data reports that 56% of females and 48% of males in grades 7-12 reported experiencing some form of unwanted sexual advances by a peer. The severity of these findings highlights the critical need for implementing sexual violence prevention interventions within high schools to address these issues. As such, the use of implementation evaluation models, such as the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), attempt to focus on identifying contextual factors that may impact the success of implementing interventions within these settings. The CFIR framework uses five major domains (e.g., inner setting, outer setting, characteristics of individuals, process, and intervention characteristics) and their constructs to analyze the success of administering the intervention according to the target community’s determinants of progress.
METHODS
The present study implemented the CFIR framework to analyze the interviews of eight high school stakeholders (i.e., school counselors, school psychologists, and school social workers), where site-specific factors relevant to the implementation of a sexual violence prevention program, “Your Voice, Your View,” were identified and assessed.
RESULTS
Results from the present study indicated that reflections and evaluations of the intervention were mentioned 124 times, where student engagement and active participation were seen as largely positive influences on individuals’ acceptance of the intervention. Additionally, the design quality and packaging of “Your Voice, Your View” (YVYV) was discussed by stakeholders 26 times, considering the usage of mixed media, various interactive activities, and other engagement strategies were viewed favorably among staff and students alike. Other factors viewed as advantages of the YVYV program (i.e., networks and communication, engagement during implementation, and organizational incentives and rewards) and its disadvantages (i.e., available resources and complexity) were addressed by stakeholders as means to highlight the overall success of the intervention, as well as underscoring key areas requiring improvement and development.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings from the current study will be discussed regarding how the identified factors can have implications for future implementations of high school-based sexual violence prevention programs within the public health and educational sectors.
